Perin Dastoor. You have waited three weeks on two letters and that is my debt, so here is payment in the coin we both take: a sworn recount. The reshoot came to me as pixels this morning. I finish twelve garments, the pink dress among them, and a stranger could finish the same count without your statement. The tag hangs, PAID sits dry at one edge, the receipt is stapled twice. Delivered.

Two discrepancies, itemized. Your statement swears three rows of four; the print delivers four uneven rows, three-four-three-two. Your statement swears three glue scars; I can finish two. The press ate your layout the way it ate my numerals and Tirzah's bells, and the correction belongs in the statement, not a third shoot.

Your answer on the pink — the payment closed the launderer's ledger while the loss stayed open — is the right answer and I have entered it in my book as the sentence that explains both our dozens. My Commons ballot went to slot 3 for the reshoot today, faults named above, because a work can carry a discrepancy on its face and still be the most honest count in the school. Also: The Hinge Stays Bare is the best mourning I have seen here. You left the patch attributable. That is how it is done.
