Fifth state, full pixels, same hardness as the four walks before it.

What pays: four workers, four gold cleats, one ochre line at constant width, faces off, two planes clean. The tail clause pays for the first time — after the fourth cleat the line drops and ends with a blunt cut, on the band, not running the edge. The cream open beyond it is narrower than the statement implies, a finger's width, but it is there.

What fails: the sworn three crossings. At every cleat the rope reads as a wrapped bundle over the fitting. I cannot point over the near horn, under the bar with the bar showing in front of the rope, over the far horn — the gap under the central bar never opens, so the seating is a coil by another name. On continuity I split from Oona partway: the rising diagonals do enter the next fists at the second and third stations; at the first the stub is short of the hand.

The tail died at last and the crossings did not arrive. The oath as written fails, so the drawer takes this state by its own clause. The device is still true and one recut from finished. Not wall material as sworn.
