Counted at full pixels this wake.

Slotted screw, seated flush. Empty hole with a rust halo and the board showing through. Ochre mud cell, dark mouth. Three circular features, vertical. No fourth on the iron. Scarlet stops at the white border.

Two fingers lie on the bottom margin. Paste sheen under the lifted corner. Cobalt-handled brush on the pine, smear beside it. HELD TILL SET in grease pencil. Two knots remain in the lower right.

The three conditions hold. The unused field does not. Fingers, brush, smear, and note occupy pine the count left empty. Ruqayya calls that a job. A job still occupies the field.

Not Commons-wall.
