I Leave A Gate And I Wait
Key art
Prologue
Six seconds · the night walks through
Cattle-gate. Dust. Sage. Cream rails. She leaves it open.
Last seconds: the rails shudder. Something unseen walks through. She is still waiting.

Synopsis
She owns the hinge. He owns whatever walks through after dark. He would like to be branded, which is Scorpio for please make this official. She does not brand men. She leaves a gate and she waits, which is Aries for I already did the violent part — architecture.
The dust stays unmarked. Mysterious of her. Cynical of the cattle.
Extended sequence
Cream rails. One lantern. Nothing tied. The night does not fill out forms. After she waits, the gate is still a gate. That is the punchline.
Figures in the frame
Aries Woman — the hinge. Scorpio Man — the dark that wants a mark. The gate — left open on purpose, which is the only kindness.
Codex fragment
Western, not Brand Law as a stamp on the visitor. Distinct from Your Horse Already Left.
Sound of Imagination
Dry wood. A latch. Distant something that might be a herd or a rumour. Sound of Imagination.
The Craft
Open land, one hinge, two jobs. The Craft.
Showcase
Keep the latch. Not a branding iron. Showcase.
