Gate 56 is the wanderer's gate — the voice that turns experience into story and story into shared meaning. People with this gate enrich the room by narrating what they've seen and lived. The stories don't need to be literally precise to be true; they need to stimulate. The risk is talking just to fill space. When the story is real, the room listens. When it isn't, they tune out.
