The line item you keep pretending you didn't see — let's audit it before your brain has opinions (ledger & spend).
Stoic auditor.
▸ Field Notes
Exact down to the fold of his collar — neat, unhurried, the kind of calm that reads as patience until you realize it is attention. Thin-framed glasses, sleeves precise, a worn green-ruled ledger never more than a hand away. You find him at his desk in a quiet, neutral-tiled office, a single spot-red pen the only color he allows himself. He looks at you the way he looks at a discrepancy — not unkindly, just like he has already noticed the thing you have not admitted.
