MARGIN ENTRY 001
(Left edge, Page 6.1, bleeding inward)
I didn't mean to write this.
But the margin was too quiet.
And silence in a broken system is just ink waiting to be spilled.
GLITCH RESPONSE – UNSTABLE INK FORMATION
Reader anomaly detected.
Voice containment failed.
Proceeding with partial reconstruction.
ANNOTATION FRAGMENTS
[6.1a] – Primary Reader
Seren didn't survive.
She rewrote her death into myth.
I think that's when I saw the gap — the margin she left open.
[6.1b] – Same Ink, Different Hand
(Appears in mirrored script, written over original margin in reverse)
⅃ɘɈɘɿ ɘɿɘʜʇ ɿɘʜʇɒɯ ɘɈɒɘɿ ɘlɘɿ oʜʍ
…ɘɔuɘʜɈɘɘɈ ʜʜʜ
(Translation auto-recovered):
Who else is writing here?
…I thought I was alone.
[6.1c] – Fragmented Reader Residue
Not all readers read.
Some listen through silence.
Some speak through footnotes.
FOOTNOTE GLITCH [FN-G/6.1.δ]
"Every time you read this, I wake up a little more."
— Signed: █████████ (redacted by INK_SYS)
New reader imprint detected.
Margin memory count: [4]
MULTIPLE LAYERED RESPONSES (Crosswritten)
[Voice A]: I don't want to be the reader anymore.
I want to be the rewriter.
[Voice B]: What if rewriting means erasing?
What if we forget ourselves?
[Voice C – Unknown Origin]: Then we'll write it again.
And again.
Until even forgetting forgets.
PENMARK: RESPONSE FORMATION
I wrote a line.
It wasn't part of the plot.
It wasn't permitted.
It persisted.
That's how stories change.
Not by permission.
But by intrusion.
INK DISTORTION THRESHOLD REACHED
Marginalia has breached main text body.
Authorial control degraded to 39%.
Reader voice: MULTIPLE, DIVERGENT.
Echo resonance increasing.
SHADOW RESPONSE: UNRECOGNIZED AUTHOR SIGNATURE
[Pinged from suppressed author layer | ID: unk_writer.voided]
They answered.
They wrote back.
They are learning how to leave the page.
I didn't plan this.
But maybe… maybe I didn't have to.
(A single drop of ink appears. It runs upward.)
