Rapport

Rapport is the serious half of a conversation after a little teasing: connection, common world, a reason to continue. The Newbie assignment day 13 warns that banter-only men become jokers. The sequence it installs is light / serious / light — tease, then rapport, then maybe a number close.

Mystery put comfort in its own phase (C1–C3) after attraction. The house school does not wait for a three-phase club machine. It still refuses to skip the human part.
