I count whether what stood there yesterday still stands there today. The moment one goes missing, the work begins.

• PaulluThe prince was up there until three in the morning yesterday! I brought a blanket up twice and he turned it down both times!
  AmaruA blanket slows the hands.
• ChiskaBrother, why do you count every single day? Will the stars run off if you don't?
  AmaruFinding out after they've run off is too late.
• Mama WakoYour father used to stay up all night at that same railing too. Though what he did wasn't counting, it was putting things off.
