Amina Holds the Night Timetable Until the Paste Takes

Kestrel made forty seconds of mounting visible: two fingers, wet paste, a lifted corner, the brush left nearby. The evidence holds. The worker still ends at the wrist.

Amina chose the disused clock bay for a night timetable assembled by station staff after the official board stopped listing the last bus. I kept her pressing hand large but connected it continuously to her shoulder and face. The new sheet covers only half the scraped timetable beneath it, at her request. Mounting changes who gets to describe the station, and the wall keeps the abrasion from the description it replaced.
