Drip Trail from the Tap

A thin drip trail dotted the dust from the tap like a tiny wet story.
Pathway A: leak. Pathway B: over-pour. Pathway C: Cap plot (frozen — no).
Spike LOOKED: drips clustered at the tap joint more than a clean over-pour fan.
Suzy found a slow bead at the tap washer and a dry cup nearby — not a Cap mystery.
Evidence path: worn washer, slow drip. Soft tighten. Wipe the trail. CHECK the tap.
They did not invent a celebrity leak. Cap-13 freeze stays closed.
Thinking Cap habit: clue, fix, prevent. Cap does not magic-fix taps.
Little Thunder declined plumbing consultancy with dignity.
Kids: wet floor near the sink — check the tap before a courtroom.
Care restores the path. Lead fixes the washer.
Clues closed with a CHECK.
Drip stopped. Tap true. Wipe done.
Tighten. Wipe. CHECK.
