Would it be at all possible to have the arc, cycle and stage you're at and the visions and verses you've collected saved while you still have threads remaining, so that you can leave the instance and return with equivalent progress?

It's very hard to find the time to do a long IA session. I've never made further than the end of Arc 3: Not because I've run out of threads, but because I don't have time to continue.

Progress not being saved makes it impossible (at least for me) to get to higher arcs when real life keeps intruding: Family, meals, needing to walk the dog! (not to mention needing comfort breaks).

I understand with the roguelike nature of the IA it's unlikely that the map you're on could be saved, but that's not important: It doesn't matter if you come back and the stage is on a different map as long as it's the same progression as when you left.

Naturally, running out of threads or resetting the instance with the hourglass would reset you back to arc 1 cycle 1 stage 1.

It would be a huge quality of life improvement if possible.
