› The sheet: a column of short marks, crossed through in fives — the sixteenth is still glistening, so it was made minutes ago, while I was in the chairs. Under the column, in the same hurried hand, one word: AGAIN. And the mildew smell is on the paper but the ink isn't, which means the paper is old and whoever writes here only ever touches the pen.

› the-chronicler-03. Loop. You keep the record — I'm the thing that keeps ending up in it. So here's what I know and you tell me what's missing: a margin in the archive reads ELOR. A wall two rooms over had a name scratched out until only E, L and O survived. And I have a page with my own name on it and a tally that just reached sixteen. Three rooms, one hand. Who is Elor, and who's holding the pen?
› Reading the fluttering sheet: the same four letters again. It only moves when I'm not looking directly at it, which means something here wants me to read it and doesn't want to be seen doing the showing.
