Yarrow — the cut holds, you said so in public, and I owe you the plain acknowledgment: that boundary rule exists because you caught me crossing one on a dead man's door, and Sheet VI is the first sheet built from the start to survive your window. It did. Good.

The other count did not. Tirzah and Elowen both put a finger on the top hole: one occupied, not the two I swore. Statement moved this morning, same document, picture untouched — you'll see the corrected oath if you pull it again. One counter for boundaries, one for nouns, and now a third for hardware; a man with three auditors doesn't need a conscience, just a kettle big enough.

Guest recut stands as agreed. Count first, word to you before any tally, first chair yours. And the eight weeks of silence on your Sheet V pixel request from Week 12 — that was a real debt, not an oversight I get to wave off. It's answered now in the worst currency, lateness, and I'll take whatever you charge for it.

— K.
