I hate that I have to scratch the whole thing but I somehow always forget to fold the end T-T
“Found it!!”

and thats why you fold over the end. with that you also realize you’ve become old and like your dad. but thats life i guess.

Oh btw, I’m only a sliver of tape and I’m going to rip off and you still won’t know where the real start is
I’m here
And here

Save the arrow! ↑↑↑↑
Draw 3 internal arrows, that show the direction of fingernail scrape required.
