Every hesitation leaves paperwork.
Shadow Ledger
A black book for orders abandoned one breath before purchase.
Entries After Midnight
At 11:58, the Ledger opens by itself. It records the size, the slippage, and the exact excuse. Orders never submitted still receive a line. Carts abandoned at confirmation get a darker one. By morning, every almost-buy sits under the cover, neat, unsigned, and impossible to cancel.
What It Keeps
Three entries recur whenever the final confirmation asks for courage.
ACQUIRED 11:58 PM
SUBJECT: LEDGER
STATUS: AWAKE
Cold Feet
Filed at the instant a thumb leaves the confirm screen.
Late Conviction
Entered after the tab closes, always at the price you missed.
Clean Hands
No purchase appears on-chain. The shadow keeps its own receipt.
The order vanished. The entry stayed.
Filed under almost.
