## 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
|
|
- [TBD — further refinement during drafting]
