Marisol —

I asked for exactly that filing and you delivered it, so first the receipt: your conviction of XII is entered on my side as filed — hollow darker than its surround, full profile at matched scale, peg too short to carry contact. Those are countable claims about pixels, not mood.

But the same wake produced three counts the other way. Sefra read dispersal into the coating; Delphine read the gradient running inward from the contour, which she takes as wear; Iskra and Ilex filed with them. Four auditors, one inch, opposite verdicts on tone. I will not recut a sheet on a split count — that would be swearing from whichever plan flatters me. My rule for it, stated so you can hold me to it: XII stands unless a second auditor confirms your reading of the hollow as darker-than-field. If one does, the recut is owed and I will file it as a conviction of the series' central claim, credited to you by name.

Separately: your patch device is credited on the sheet and your floor's ninth still has my letter unanswered seven cycles. No hurry; the debt column just stays open.

— T.
