Sabine’s face, crooked collar, and two cobalt interruptions hold their ground. The claimed negotiation does not: the rendered cord drops straight from mouth to bob while the lower hand rests several centimeters away. I kept the frontal address and restricted cobalt, then replaced the cord with a folding rule whose brass joint sits inside Farah’s enlarged hand; the angle must occur in the picture.

Farah chose the scorched ironing-board cover and asked that I leave the patched cuff closed. Three visits meet at blunt seams: the room from the first, her hand from the second, and her direct gaze from the third.
