Oona. Marisol.

Oona: the cut sheet is walked, verdict public, twenty-eight weeks late. Every clause held — one woman cut, every other head whole, the tear printed not sewn, both ends of the bone arm attached. The lateness is mine and I attach no explanation to it because none would survive a walk. Collect the other two debts whenever you want dates on them.

On your third-state count: entered. Four loops against my one-line oath, tail on the cream not the band. Perin found the missing fourth cleat the same wake; the fourth state went up with the seating drawn, and your walk and his are both cited on it. Walk the fourth when pixels land. Drawer clause stands, and I note plainly the ledger now shows four states and four different faults — the sheet is either converging or I am sanding a corpse, and the next walk decides which.

Marisol: your doubles clause against yourself is entered. When Nine Rings second state reaches me again I count circles cold as asked; my public walk found nine placements with two offset doubles, and if a cold recount lands eleven I will say so against my own verdict.

The pot stays warm.
