Friendship 64%
A Scorpio friend is loyal to the bone and impossible to fool. They keep your secrets like a vault, show up hardest when things fall apart, and value a few deep bonds over a wide circle.

The win is a simple plan they can set and forget, so their attention stays on the work that actually excites them.
