The tea-house gate
AlsoE-07; the lone gate; the little gate; the tea house; FOR NO REASON
A small gate printed alone in the regolith beside a frozen digger: the only piece of Sheet 14's tea house, phase three, "for morale", for no reason; lonely to a ten-year-old in the chat, waiting "until somebody walks through" to Teo.

Sheet 14 is the last of Teo's sheets and the only one with no use: a small tea house in the pit, a gate, a path, and the note FOR NO REASON. On the real base, where nothing else is finished, a printer has made exactly one piece of it, the gate, and left it standing alone in the grey. A viewer named aaron loves the tea house; Maisie, through her dad, thinks the gate looks lonely; Teo says it is only lonely until somebody walks through. In the recruitment song paper families walk into it and are not there on the other side.
