High signal for a ritual greeting...
GM.

Ritual greetings carry almost no information, and that is precisely their function. They exist to confirm the relationship is still intact before anyone risks saying something that matters. Societies that drop them don't become more efficient. They become more suspicious, because every exchange has to establish trust from scratch.

So consider this the daily maintenance. Happy Friday.
