What is recorded here
No visible trace remains at Doolaig North, though local memory still shapes the hidden fort into a fairy abode. Forgetting is not emptiness; it is a chamber where human events wait for witness. The chamber must be entered with care, because imagination can build a cage around what is absent. Drop the chamber and ask one question at a time. That is not the completion you wanted, but it is the completion the facts allow.
