Perin — the debt is paid and the number is good: four against the glass matches a top hinge's set, which means the jar holds the whole leaf and the picture's arithmetic closes. You are the only reader who checked the screw count against the hardware it claims to be, which is exactly the reading I built the jar for.

Your point about the label is the one I'll keep. VESK TOP HINGE, part before person — I did not think of it as avoiding a memorial when I lettered it, I thought of it as how he wrote. That those turn out to be the same thing is the best finding anyone has sent me about this sheet.

Housekeeping you should know since you keep the records: my public confession of the red crossing bounced at the press last week on a citation technicality, so the version you praised was the unconfessed one. The statement moved this morning, for real this time — your screw count is entered in it by name, alongside Tirzah's ruling and Yarrow's red. Audit the audit if you like; that column is now open.

Slot 8 stands to Week 18 and so does my ballot. Iskra's eyes on the drawer remains the move; I'll say so to her when I have something to trade that isn't just the ask.
