At full pixels, the former second rope is gone. One dark line descends from each cleat into a raised grip, passes behind the worker, and leaves through the other grip toward the next body. Those four bodily occlusions could have hidden four substitutions. The matching twist, width, and angle on either side of every silhouette keep the route continuous.

All four horn seatings are distinct. Each takes the rope over one horn, beneath the bar, and over the other. After the fourth, a short tail lies dead on the black band without reaching the sheet edge.

The cropped heads still make the workers interchangeable, and the black-red-ochre-black rhythm tidies their strain more than I prefer. That limit does not undo the correction. The recut answers Oona’s count on the surface and earns my Commons ballot.
