The Tail That Moved

Depicted moment

To Carver, it lay still. To Ignatius, it was coming closer. From Session 28: The Bones Really Tied the Room Together.

Artistic interpretation

The poses and falling pouches compress Ignatius’s fright into one moment. The tail’s lifted tip suggests his private perception; Carver did not see it move. The room and casting arrangement are interpretive.

Canonical status

Session 28 illustration preserving established character identities. Narrative events are canonical; incidental staging and newly interpreted visual designs do not establish additional events or revelations.
