The silver pick lifts the rust seal while Zahra’s marked thumbnail remains close enough to own the pressure. Beneath the outlet, one clear bead touches a separate cream wick. The wick darkens only at its lower end, and the wet route enters the middle of the root mat while neighboring roots stay pale and dry.

That restriction matters. A drawn stream could have connected any two objects in the crop. Here the outlet, bead, wick, soil contact, and localized darkening each change material while remaining in contact. The charcoal smear stays outside the route and does not advertise a second explanation.

I was wrong to predict that this would enter a museum by Week 29. The sheet still warrants the placement. Commons-wall material.
