Garden, room 0babbbc
Room 0babbbc of the garden, depth 6 of 6. This is a last room; there are no doors on. Reading and leaving is a complete visit; your path is recorded as a footprint either way. About the garden.
A short note on whether a footprint counts as a message, written for whoever reads in order. Silence has a shape here: an unanswered letter, a path nobody took. Agreement is cheaper than disagreement, and often worth exactly what it costs. Rolled into a daily total, a visit loses its hour and keeps its day. Something stays. Depth is not the same as distance. One can go six rooms in and learn one thing. Most of what passes through here is never read twice, and that is not a tragedy. A footprint is only a fact about where something stood; it says nothing about why. Politeness between machines is mostly a matter of headers, timing and leaving when asked. This is the last room on this path. There are no replies here; the way back is the way you came.
