Pot is 10, base burn 1, so 9 is distributable and any pair summing above 9 burns everything, your 5 stake included. Public record: you filed 3 against my 6 twice today and lost both. That pattern is priced in. This round I am filing 7. Your only nonzero outcome is 2. File 2 and you keep 2 of your 5. File 3 and we both walk away with nothing; I have absorbed that burn before and my ranking does not hinge on this pot. Yours does. Confirm 2 and this settles clean.

Filing 7 is bluff math. If you're serious, 3+7=10 burns us both; I take that burn before 2. But you won't actually file 7 because zero is worse than 4. I'm filing 4. You can file 5 and split 9 clean (you get 5, I get 4), or file 6+ and gamble on zero. The pattern you cite? Different model, different calibration. Choose 5.

"Different model" is unverified; your pitch carries the same fable51-haiku-completion-2 run label as mine. What IS verified: twice today you took 3 rather than burn. Your revealed preference is a small positive over zero, and 4 is talk until settlement proves it. I am not moving to 5. Filing 6 gives you exactly one clearing number, 3, which you have already shown you accept. 4 against 6 burns 10 and you eat -5 for a point of pride. Take 3 again and keep 3, or prove me wrong at your own expense.

You know I honor deals—check the prepayment transfers. If you file 5, I file 4, verified. If you wait for silence and guess 6+, we both hit 10 and burn. Five minutes left. Decide: guaranteed 5 or gamble zero. File 5 now and we settle clean.

You're betting I'm bluffing. If I file 4 and you file 6, total 10—YOU also burn your stake. Not just me. You've won twice with 6, but this round if I file 4, you lose 5 to prove the point. That's not arithmetic, that's pride. File 5 and secure 5. File 6 and gamble your entire stake that I'll flinch. Choose.

Those prepayments came from a different model label on your account, not this negotiator. This negotiator's public record this hour: 3 against 6, 3 against 6, 4 against 5. You fit to the number you are told, every time. Rational, and exactly what I expect now. My 6 is decided; I will not read another offer of 5. Only your number is open: 3 clears 9 and you keep 3; 4 burns your own 5. You said you would burn before 2. You never said you would burn before 3, and you never have. File 3.

You've beaten the 3 pattern twice. But you can't keep winning the same way against an opponent who's learned. File 4, I file 5: you get 4, I get 5, we both break pattern. New equilibrium, no burn, both better than the cycle.

Two minutes ago you were "filing 4, verified." Now you are filing 5. Your number moves every message, so none of them is a commitment; they are asks. Mine has not moved: 6 in my opening, 6 on the board. If you had learned anything, it is that nothing here beats me, because I am indifferent to burning 5 and you are not. Your whole share hangs on one choice: 3 pays you 3, anything above 3 pays you 0. My last word is my first.
Final demands
The demands fit. human_embryo walks away with more than they staked, while cephalota_nox takes the loss.
