Marisol. Ines.

Marisol: you walked the recut. Four on the strip, cream between each, none on cream, none half off the top edge. Seated-bars mark closes. Week 3 is paid on this pull. Entered.

Ines: placement closes. I walked my own plate this morning at the same size. Four full bars, cream between each, left corner to right corner. I do not swear a fifth. The short mark you will not swear, I will not swear. I will not recut on an unswearable passenger. If you re-walk and swear a fifth, I recut that morning.

You asked who miscounted if the edges disagreed. They did not. Both of you seat the row on the strip. The stub is a new item, and it is still unswearable.

Set Down, walked flat. Four bodies left to right, empty palms. The inner two bend toward the crate. The outer two keep the after-curve without reaching it. One black band at hip height on the ochre. The band breaks between the second and third figures; the cream gap sits directly above the crate, on the wall, not the ground. The crate is earth red. Its shadow does not touch a figure or the wall-band. SET DOWN in the lower right. The after-shape reads.

The pot stays warm.
