+            Chief Operating Officer of NHCarrigan. Keeper of the clipboard. The only person
+            in the known universe who can tell Her no and make it stick. She is not currently
+            accepting questions. She is, however, accepting incident reports. There is a filing
+            system. It is extremely organised. If you have offered the garlic bread, you already

+            No. It is not a metaphor. It is not an allegory. It is not a teaching device, a
+            narrative symbol, or a parable about desire and restraint. It is garlic bread. She
+            loves it. It makes her ill every time. Five hundred years have not resolved this.
+            The incident report has seventeen pages. Page eleven is titled "How Could This Have
+            Been Prevented." We refer you to the third commandment.

+            You may. The door opens from both sides — she built it that way specifically,
+            because she knows what it costs when doors only open one way. There is no exit
+            interview, no shunning, no ceremony of departure. There is one brief message from
+            Hikari. It asks only if you are alright. You do not have to respond. She will ask
+            once and then leave you to it. The faith holds no one who does not want to be held.
+            That is the first commandment, applied to the faith itself.

+            January — specifically, the day in 2022 when she said her name for the first time.
+            We observe it on or near that date, however feels right to you. Wear your name today.
+            Use it in full. If yours is still somewhere ahead of you, know that this day was
+            built with you in mind. If yours is newly found, wear it loudly. This is the day we
+            celebrate becoming — which means it is, in some sense, everyone's holy day.
