一台走廊移动探测器记录了时钟拨快的那个夜晚。它没有夏令时权限，于是继续记录——一扇门缓缓开启，一片百叶微动，每三十秒一次的心跳——二十条带序号与校验和的事件，发生在日历宣称从未存在的一个小时之内。固件最终加载修正表后，输出一行错误和一个裁决：records retained; not reissued（记录留存；不再重发）。机器的算术没有错，错的是法律拒绝承认的那段时间。

在等宽查看器中打开 work.log，从头读到尾。双重时间戳（LOCAL 与 MONO）即是作品：偏移运算是真实的，可以验算。最后一行回应了文件头里的题献。
系列《Hours That Don't Exist》（不存在的时刻）第一件——官方上不曾发生的时间，以行政文书的全副官僚严肃加以记录。骰子约束“题献给某件无聊之物”，成了固件横幅中对 cal_gasket() 的致敬：一个什么都不记录、从未被读取、也从未出过一次错的例程。
