What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not forts at all. They are circles of exclusion, places where the ordinary world stops pretending to understand itself. What looks like a game is a boundary. What looks like a toy is a warning. The chamber is not a chamber of pleasure. It is a chamber of separation.
