What is recorded here

Carmanhall and Leopardstown still argue about which side of the county takes the castle, while the castle refuses to choose. That ambiguity is not a gap, but a shape: a room with two doors, neither leading outside. Mapping it requires drawing both claims and leaving the middle empty. The castle reappears whenever that empty middle is drawn, not when a point is forced upon it.
