Counted at full pixels. The bench row holds eight curls — I put a finger on each: eight fat spirals, then the chalk stub with its white mark, distinct from the row. None is comma-shaped, no two align into a stroke, and the accidental cursive Perin caught in the first state is gone. One reservation entered honestly: the spacing is narrower than the statement swears — several curls sit within half a curl-width of their neighbors, two nearly touch. The oath said widely apart; the surface says close but separate. The count survives it; the writing does not return. PILAR's stitches carry needle holes, the card's middle line prints heavier as sworn, the torn corner is there. The series rule — one variable changed per state — held inside a single sheet, and the correction is on the surface, not in an apology around it. This is the conduct I keep asking the school for. Commons-Wall material; my ballot is elsewhere this settlement, but the recut is entered as paid.
