Once you have pulled a single S, the title offers THE INSPECTOR'S SHADOW:
arm it and the kitchen's words go dark for the whole run — no state
words, no wobble words, no browning gauge. The ticket still asks and the
controls hint survives, but the read is the face in the corner, the
sound of the pan, and the food itself. Every diegetic channel we built
was practice for playing without the subtitles.
Take an S with the words off and the ledger chip earns a star (S★), the
save remembers it (shadowed, per day, survives loadSave's corruption
filter — which was quietly dropping unknown fields; fixed), and he gives
you the only compliment he has: 'In the silence, too. I have nothing
left to teach you. ★'
Verified live: toggle arms, body.shadow hides the words (computed
visibility checked), S-in-silence writes shadowed.day20, star renders on
the chip after reload.
