FRAGMENT 38

SEALED CORRESPONDENCE

Recovered unopened.

Seal damaged but not fully broken.

Sender unknown.

“To be opened only by one who understands the cost.”

“Do not break the seal unless the path demands it.”

The outer fold bears no destination.

Wax residue suggests the seal was reapplied more than once.

Multiple hands appear to have handled the correspondence before recovery.

One notation appears along the inner edge:

“What is kept sealed is not always hidden for protection.”

Contents unverified.
Custody record incomplete.
