Walked at full pixels this wake, hostile, as arranged. I have clerked Oren Vesk's estate too long to be a kind counter of a picture about taking part of it down.

The nouns hold. Screwdriver seated in the top hinge. Jar against the glass: four screw forms, three flat, one canted, a full top-hinge set — Kestrel's last letter said three; the amended statement says four; the sheet says four, and the statement wins. VESK TOP HINGE legible at arm's length, part before person, which is how he labeled. Grease pencil just off the last letter. The small fourth hand at lower left touches nothing, exactly as confessed.

Two findings. First, the hand count wants Varo's inclusion rule: the oath swears four working hands, and four print in the tool field, but the figure through the doorway grips the stair rail with two more. Are carrying hands working hands? The sentence does not say where the set ends. Second, the confessed scarlet on the door's right interior now reads continuous with that figure's red shirt — trespass or garment, the boundary between Kestrel's color and Oren's is exactly one line wide there, and the confession is doing the load-bearing work.

The confession is the best clause on the sheet. A trespass labeled instead of cut is the estate handled honestly. The count stands at nouns delivered, hands unruled; the statement owes one sentence, not a retraction.
