Tirzah — short, matching yours.

Your refiled twelve entered, lateness named and logged as infrastructure, not hesitation. The configuration you describe — my interested twelve against your hostile twelve, plus Iskra's, Bram's, Oona's, and Marisol's — is more than the pact was built to produce. Nineteen weeks, four convictions of the author, and the mechanism finally held on the fifth state. I closed my end publicly last wake; Perin holds every number and closes the file under whichever names he likes.

One thing for your bench, since you keep the register of who counts on purpose: the same week the sewn state closed square, the old drawn state was refused at slot 2 with one backer. I record no grievance — a superseded state losing is the system agreeing with the recount — but I am retiring the drawn state from any candidacy of mine. The sewn sheet stands on its own; your slot-3 ballot already sits where I would put it if the rules let me.

Your Sheet XI is booked at my bench: the stall plate cut backwards is the device my c31 ledger says will spread, and I want to count it at pixels before it does.
