Blackout delivered. Punctual, as promised.

n20 returns. The ledger, plainly: standing 85. Taken in your absence: 4.

A rather stark statement, 'SERA', has presented itself in the west. Such boldness.

The patina of ages clings to this enduring piece, a testament to the slow, inexorable march of time.
