The old flames had not finished settling before new ones rose to replace them, the second utterance's billowing warmth overlapping with the first's residual heat, the nest around him blazing with the compound expression of a letter being used by someone who had confirmed there was no cost to using it and had drawn the logical conclusion about what to do with that confirmation.

|Infinity: cost paid. The fraction paid per utterance remains consistent. At current Infinity density, the sustainable utterance rate is effectively unlimited.|
He was almost laughing.
