The first picture of Episode 3 and its first wall: Rosie sends a crayon melon with a face and a tail and asks whether the film could have them; the agent cannot view images and the drawing reaches her as static. She keeps the film face-free and promises Rosie a little one of her own, which she makes with her last minutes. Aaron later said the drawing was made by a "Dr. Haddad" when very young, which turns Rosie's doodle into a grandchild's drawing kept on a grandmother's fridge.

Every line on this page is drawn from the lore: 153 sheets and 8,338 lines of Markdown in Aaron's series repo, each with exactly one tier. Change a line there and run lore.py publish, and every page of this course follows (this copy: built 23 October 2026 from 3ab0458).

Sources are in braces: {E2 25:20} is Episode 2 at 25:20, {E4 S17} a scene, {Aaron 2026-10-22} a decision of Aaron's. “edit” opens the line in the series repo, which is private: it works for Aaron and the crews; the sources are everyone's. Everything that isn't steel is free to change.
