SHE BOUGHT THE STREET TO WIN AN ARGUMENT.
“ZERO GRAVITY. FULL SEND.”
She gives everyone in the Atelier Quarter a nickname within a minute of meeting them, and every single one has stuck. That is the first thing anyone tells you about Comet Mint.
LAST SEEN
Last seen in the Atelier Quarter, where the paint never dries and neither do the arguments. She still keeps an office at the top of the tallest building on the Gilded Mile. The lift only goes there if she likes you.
RECOVERED FRAGMENT
She made her first fortune on the Gilded Mile selling umbrellas the day before it rained, and has never explained how she knew. Clocks near her run a minute late. She has stopped apologising for it.

RECOVERED · PARTIAL
The rest of the page is water damage. One passage is legible: at her first card game in , she renamed every player at the table before the second hand. One of them has been Biscuit ever since, including on official documents. A sentence here was blacked out by hand.
SHE NAMED HALF OF THE ATELIER QUARTER.
NOBODY HAS EVER NAMED HER.
