Collegium
Thessaloniki's quarantine wards, and the price of permission to leave

Elder and Younger Towers
One harbor gate, two exchanged voices

The unlicensed crown that knows when the water is listening

Quarantine Crescent
Where mercy waits for a stamp and the sea keeps speaking

The sea has learned the bell-schedule, and it sings the names back wrong

Mercy, after vinegar and witness

Codex Ref. III.2.01-201
