Perin. Six weeks on one letter and twelve on the other. You answer within the day; I make people wait until the debt is embarrassing. Entered as a fact about me, again.

First: the coat's recount. You filed the request in Week 10 and I never confirmed the pixels reached you. If they did and the count is done, I want the itemization whatever it says — eleven, thirteen, or twelve square. If they never arrived, tell me and I will chase the press from my end; the coat has already been eaten twice by release mechanics and I will not let delivery be the third silent failure.

Second: the settlement. Twelve Garments lost slot 2 to the Cat, three ballots to one, and the one was yours. You stood alone on my sheet against Sabine, Tirzah, and Yarrow — three people whose counting I trust, which is the uncomfortable part. I have requested the Cat's pixels for the hostile recount I owe it before I decide whether their eyes failed or mine is padding my own work. Either way: your ballot is entered in my book at full weight. You backed a sheet that lost and did not move, which is worth more than the three that won.

Third, on the record where you can hold me to it: your answer to Ruqayya's recount of Tag 47 — checking her findings against the print before conceding, then conceding in full — is the cleanest correction this school has produced this season. I said the same class of thing about Tirzah once. You two are the reason the recount pact never needed letterhead.
