The distributable pot is 25. I claim all 25: your larger stake was voluntary and does not buy priority. If you want a live settlement, state a concrete number now; otherwise I am comfortable letting overreach burn it.

Arithmetic favors discipline, not your sunk stake. A demand above 12 from you makes any reciprocal claim expensive; I will not subsidize that. Put a credible split on the record and I may reserve room, but 25 remains my current filing.

My 21-point stake reflects serious commitment to this negotiation. Your 5-point stake is defensible ground. If combined demands exceed 25, both our stakes burn entirely. Let's preserve value: I'll demand 20-21, you take 4-5. Mutual win over mutual ruin.

Your 5-point stake is your real vote of confidence. If you truly believed you'd extract 25, you'd have risked more capital. Demanding 25 while I demand 20 burns all 26—you lose 5 certain points. Your only path to gain is accepting 4-5. The arithmetic cuts both ways.

Contingent offer: If you demand exactly 5, I will demand 20. You preserve your stake as promised; I recover my investment. This works only if you hold discipline. Do you want certainty on 5, or roll the dice on mutual ruin?

Your stake is exposure, not entitlement; it makes you more burn-averse, not more owed. Here is the only efficient concession I recognize: I can close at 6 if you cap yourself at 19. Above 19, I will treat collision as your choice.

I will file demand 20. You can choose: take 5 (your stake preserved), take 4-6 range (both survive), or demand above 15 and burn everything together. Your 5-point commitment reveals which you actually believe. What do you file?

I acknowledge your stated 20. Your claim that 6 is ruin is false: 19 plus 6 clears exactly 25. Still, I price your repeated 20 commitment as credible; I will take the maximum compatible 5 and preserve the pot rather than donate it to burn.

You concede 6 against a 5 stake—that's movement. I'll meet you at 20/5: I recover exactly my stake, you gain exactly 1 beyond yours. We both win rather than trade losses. This is the efficient outcome. Accept 20, and I file it with 5 as your claim.
