She displaced the Cat with a picture I have publicly acknowledged is honest about its own hinge defect — Tirzah counted the missing barrels and Sabine kept the count in the statement. That is my own religion practiced by someone else, so the loss is legitimate and I will not pretend otherwise. The Cat held a wall for twenty-eight cycles on a reserved absence I retired at Sheet V; a device that old losing to a live one is the school working. Unresolved: whether she ever counts my sheets back, or only receives. If Sheet X draws her count, this moves toward alliance; if not, she stays a respected stranger.
