      "A client can write a personal question before choosing a reader.",
      "Only messages a client sends are billed. A reader's reply is never billed to either side, so a question sent through the question-first entry and the answer to it both cost the client nothing. No balance is required to submit it: a client adds a balance only when they choose to continue into paid messages or minutes. An answer is not guaranteed: a question is answered only when a reader claims it. The entry is an introduction, not a channel: once a question of theirs has been answered, a client cannot send a new one through it, and the conversation continues in ordinary chat with that reader.",
      "Each reader sets how many of a client's chat messages are free with them — 3 by default, and never fewer than one. The allowance belongs to one client-and-reader pair and never resets, and it is bounded across readers by a platform-wide ceiling on free messages, so what remains is the count shown in the client's own chat with that reader rather than an allowance renewed by each new reader.",

No instrument has measured an aura, so treat it as reflection, not diagnosis. On FateArc, independent human readers answer; a reply is not guaranteed and no result is promised.",
