A FLASH LAY: some revisions!

Hi all! We've made some changes to the Flash Lay content in response to the excellent feedback you all gave us here. The key changes are:
- Length: You now only need 75 Progress to complete a Flash Lay, rather than 100. We've adjusted the rewards accordingly.
- Ending: If your Progress reaches 100, the end of the Flash Lay will trigger automatically. You can still end the Flash lay earlier by playing the Make your Move: A Confessional Evening card. If you don't have it, though, and are having bad luck drawing cards, you won't have to wait too long before the Flash Lay ends automatically.
- Instructions: A storylet in the Flash Lay now provides basic guidance on Progress, Up Your Sleeve, Obstacles and Openings, and Menaces.
- Other minor changes: For example, when you start a new Flash lay, you should no longer inherit any cards left over from your last one.
We may make further changes, but we wanted to let these core ones bed in first, and then assess. Enjoy!

Isn't that option called "Abandon your flash lay"?

These sound like useful changes.
I'll check it out once I actually manage to have both of the required menaces low enough at the same time... which is harder than you would expect.

Firstly, let me say that I like the changes. I think they make the Flash Lays better.
However, I've realised what it is that's been bugging me about them ever since they came along and why I enjoy them less than the Heists, even though I recognise they're better crafted.
It's that there's no beginning. You are told when you choose your Mark who they are and who you'll pretend to be, but then it launches straight into situations where you already know them, possibly quite well. It feels like there is a stage missing! How do we first meet and become acquainted with them?
I realise rectifying this would require extra writing, but if it could be done I believe it would make for a more satisfying experience overall.
