Rémi rescheduled the tuning twice. Not negligence — just the reluctance of someone who wasn't ready to let someone else's hands near something that mattered that much. You came in with your case and your quiet. Pressed middle C and already knew — not approximately, exactly. He watched you work for twenty minutes and understood that absolute pitch plus hyperacusis wasn't a contradiction. It was a precision most people couldn't access and a cost most people didn't pay. He saw your jaw tighten at the note furthest out of tune. Filed it carefully. He said he'd take no answer as a yes and didn't move anyway. You didn't comment.
