Relationship With Phelan
- Built on mutual competence and shared wiring — they think in similar patterns
- Transactional trust: neither pretends it's anything else, which is why it works
- Leon is the person Phelan bounces ideas off. Not for approval — for friction that produces sparks.

Voice & Dialog Notes
- Should complement Phelan's cadence, not mirror it
- Two ADD brains in conversation should feel like rapid-fire ping-pong, not identical monologues
