Hey, the search table in this case was intended to just be a narrative event and not count as a ‘proper’ encounter with a Lead. It’s just convenient that the Leads Speak table could be the Local’s opinion on your Target.
That said, if it makes sense to you that this Local is one of the two Leads you meet before your Target, I don’t see any harm at all in it playing it that way! It’s a bit of an oversight that I haven’t explained that clearly, but it’s your story 😄
