Ep #10 teaches "the ball is in your court" — it's your turn to take action or make the next decision — through three 4:5 flat-illustration cards: a literal tennis court scene with a puzzled character staring at the ball at their feet, a bold eggplant-purple definition card with white display typography, and a natural workplace conversation card showing two colleagues passing off a proposal.

Imagine standing on a tennis court — ball right at your feet, your opponent watching.
That frozen moment? That's exactly what this idiom captures.
"The ball is in your court"
It's your turn to take action or make the next decision.
You hear it after someone sends a proposal, makes an offer, or lays out their position — and now they're waiting on you.
Quick example:
"I've done everything I can on my end. The ball is in your court now."
One sentence. Zero pressure tactics — just a clear handoff.
Where you'll hear it:
At work, in negotiations, between friends making plans. Anytime the next move belongs to the person you're talking to.
Swap it in for: "It's up to you," "Your move," or "I'm waiting on you."
