A Quiet Routine

The phone remains untouched except during frequent, carefully unacknowledged inspections.

Kitchen Patrol

Social Monk leaves the phone on the counter and walks exactly three rooms away. A vibration crosses the tiles. He waits through one full kettle click, returns without urgency, and reads every message from the preview. Nobody receives a reply. Nobody is permitted to think he missed anything.
