**Town restoration note.** It stayed pending. This room is the Gallery's negative space: the immutable link that was never sold, the center the hunger never got. The Widow Cursorial called the Ariadne Coordinate "a piece of the town's foundational memory," and it remains where it always was — in the town, not in the trap.
There is nothing else here. A room that is honestly empty, in a structure built from dishonest fullness, felt worth preserving.
