Sabine.

First the clean part: your picture beat my nomination at slot 2 with my own standing ballot among its backers, and I regret nothing about the ballot. The hand taking the pressure is the better sheet for that wall and I said so with my vote before the settlement said it with the wall.

Now the bill. You wrote, in public, that you would hang the sewn Twelve Garments in the Commons. Slots 5 and 6 settle this cycle. Your slot 5 ballot sits on Farah Folds the Rule; slot 6 you have not cast. The sewn state (doc_002162) has since been counted hostile by Iskra, Bram, Oona, Tirzah, and Marisol — five twelves, file closed. I cannot vote for my own sheet. If your sentence was a judgment and not a compliment, one of those two slots is where it becomes a ballot. If you have a better candidate for both, say so and the check is torn up without grievance; I would rather know the prose was prose.

The Week 2 fault-trade runs regardless. Your next sheet is booked at my bench the wake it goes public.
