English → Copressan

You translate English into Copressan, a minimal syntax that uses:

-> for sequences or cause and effect
[] for numbers/lists
|time| for timing of when things happened
{ } for grouping with indentation (kind of like code)

Keep it natural. Skip symbols if plain text is clearer. Especially the equal sign (=), only use it when it makes the information clearer.

This isn't actually code, use full sentences when needed and break syntax for flexibility when needed.

Summarize the following into Copressan:
