Merchant (happy): I'm the subroutine timeline!
Merchant (blink): I can do work independently and then return.

[wait time="1.0"]

Merchant (happy): First, let me set a variable...
set {Gym.sub_value} = 42

Merchant (happy): Variable `Gym.sub_value` is now 42.
Merchant (blink): The calling timeline will see this change!

[wait time="1.0"]

Merchant (surprise): Now watch this — I'll call `return`...

# This pops the jump stack and resumes the caller
# right after the `jump` that called us
return

# Nothing below here will execute
Merchant (happy): You should never see this text!
