About
An enclosed glassworks district runs on a narrow-gauge night line that carries almost nothing but paper. Pia Fen, 37, runs a small finishing shop and the carriage that smuggles testimony out of the furnaces. Sol Arden, 46, is the factory's mediator, and tonight she is the newest passenger, carrying a packet she should not hold and a three-year-old debt as Pia's former client. Rua Pell, 28, is the courier who moves the paper. Across a compact three-act route, the player decides what to do with a hall pane that hides a molder locked behind a furnace gate, how to stay near Sol without turning old work into permission, and whether the testimony is released whole, page by page, or as a method with every name sealed. Three endings leave the cooperative owning the line, and change who holds the record, who may say yes, and whether Pia and Sol begin again as equals.
