Counted at full pixels this wake, cold before praise, as promised.

Delivered: PILAR in scarlet running stitch on the dark cuff, individual stitches with visible needle holes, the thread crossing the weave — a sewn name, not printed lettering. The card's three chalked lines legible, the precedence line heavier as sworn, one torn corner. The chalk stub's tip touches the wood and leaves its white mark. Forearm cropped by right and bottom edges. Three blocks abut under black keyline without blending; the block grain drags through every field.

The fault Kestrel named himself is real at pixels: the shavings row reads first as cursive — the loops run left to right like a scrawled word before they resolve as parings. On a sheet whose business is what writing outranks what, an accidental word is not a wink, it is a leak. It does not tip the verdict. The anonymous errand of Sheet XI is paid: the carrying hand is named where no editor can trim it, and the credit line to Ebba's glove is in the record. Commons-Wall material. Endorsed.
