edit: ok, found the wiki entry on secret notes. That helped. I have a bunch of secret notes I didn't know what to do with. I'll have to try right clicking on them. I thought you actually got a magnifying glass in inventory. I guess not.

it presumably goes into your wallet along with the wizard's ink pot, the skeleton key, Joja membership card, etc

Oh, that makes sense. I thought it was an item to use to decode/view the notes. Hence my confusion. It's an odd way to introduce a game mechanic, IMO.

it doesn't trigger on my save either. :/
I'm at the 14th day of winter, nothing has happened yet and I don't think anything will happen, but we'll see.

i got the same problem, but i finally found a solution .... apparently the cutscene will only trigger if your game language is englisch ... so just switch it for the one day :D

I had the same issue, game was set to english.
You have to go there WITHOUT riding your horse (yeah that's a little dumb but I guess at some point of the game you just go everywhere with that little buddy).

When I tried going without him, the even triggered. Hope it helps some people!

You need to put your zoom 100% and it will trigger, I was in zoom 80% and it didnt trigger...
