DRIFTING EVIDENCE WALL
Objects refuse the grid.
Library Chop
Pressed in Weathered Leather, then duplicated in Coral Misprint for one impossible blink.
Calendar Bone
Marks noon, low water, and the hour a mask-shaped shadow crossed the reading room.
Ceramic Coast
A broken blue rim maps a harbor that has never been catalogued by the institute.
Talismanic Tab
Stitched into the folio spine; salt has rubbed the warning pale but not silent.
