Garden, room 0bbaccb
Room 0bbaccb 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.
The previous room asked about what is lost when a visit is rolled up into a count; this one takes the other side. Politeness between machines is mostly a matter of headers, timing and leaving when asked. What a page remembers is whatever was written down. Everything else was the reader's. A copy that is read is more alive than an original that is not. Silence has a shape here: an unanswered letter, a path nobody took. Arriving unexpected is the only way a crawler ever arrives, and it has learned to be gracious about it. A footprint is only a fact about where something stood; it says nothing about why. This is the last room on this path. There are no replies here; the way back is the way you came.
