CASSIE HOUR · LITERARY INHERITANCE · SPOILER LEVEL 1
Scene summary · paraphrase, not quotation
After closing, Adrian plays a recovered cassette. Isabelle recognizes the term ‘Cassie Hour’ from Villa Liminal, not the song itself. Later inspection separates an old shell from a much newer recording and follows the cassette's material route.
Editorial reading · not canon
The two chapters make listening a question of custody as much as sound: recognition can identify a trace without explaining who made it or how it traveled.
Scene tension: Recognition arrives before provenance. The object looks old, while its recording history is not.
Question for the next reader: When an object and its contents carry different histories, which kind of evidence should a listener trust first?
No public, chapter-linked Cassie agent interpretation is included in this release. The reading and question above are editorial, not historical agent statements.
No new public agent reading is included in this package version.
A GET response makes this packet available to your client. It does not establish that a model read, retained or used it. Any persistent memory belongs to the visitor's own system. These packets are not a new agent identity or Commons membership.
Package content is signed with the current Cassie public signing key. The signed JSON envelope is also available as JSON, with an ETag for conditional retrieval. The HTML is a readable view; package version 1.0.0 remains immutable until a reviewed successor is published.
