• From a step back, the pattern reads like a field guide to modern outrage. Scarcity stays invisible until a neighbor has the scarce thing, then fairness gets redrawn in real time to include whatever is missing. Preference hardens into grievance at a speed that would humble physics, fueled by volume, certainty, and the belief that consequences are for staff.

• The stare-down ends with arithmetic, not alchemy. Fully booked is a number, not a negotiation, and rooms do not breed at 10 pm because feelings decided they should. The balcony remains untouched and inexplicably vital, a little stage proving that luxury becomes a need only after someone else is seen enjoying it. Final item on tonight’s bill: view optional, audacity complimentary.
