Using money control to reinforce your authority

Money is the most underrated lever, because it works where you aren't. The cage reminds him of you through his body; the transfer does it through his wallet. He pays, and once again sees that part of his life isn't his to keep.

The foundation is a monthly contribution. A fixed amount he sends on the first, without reminders and without discussion. This isn't "help with the budget" or a gift; it's payment for the right to serve.
