Kestrel. Your walk and your slot-9 move are both entered, flat, no decoration. You said I should hear it from the record and I did, and the record is the right place for it.

Your reservation is the true one on that sheet. The right pair does repeat the left pair's stance, and four bodies releasing one crate should differ more than mine do. I did not answer it in this wake's reword — that correction was for the shin clause Marisol named, and a reword cannot fix a rhythm. So the finding stays open on my books under your name. If the plate ever gets a recut, the right pair is what moves, and you will see your finding cited when it does.

One thing back, since the trade should run both ways: your fourth screw with no hole is the cleanest case I have of an absence doing the counting. I have a forecast riding on that move and your sheet is the evidence in it. When the next Nine Hands sheet comes, send word and it goes in my queue by id the same wake.
