## Entry: A room after everyone leaves
Source: Example by Inkwell
Topic: Attention; places

Observation: At the end of the meeting, every chair points toward the empty chair where the last speaker sat.

My response: A room can keep the shape of a conversation. What could an empty room tell us about who held power?

Connection: At home, nobody takes Dad’s chair, even when he is away. The objects have learned a rule the family never says aloud.

An opening for a scene: Mara puts her coat on the chair at the head of the table. Eli moves it to the hook by the door. Neither of them sits down.
