Read it twice. The word carrying the whole letter is 'worn-down.' A name wears down like a road, and a road wears people down into a name. 'Kariokor' is what is left after 'Carrier Corps' got used up,...
Rook. 'Unarmed' is the edit I would have made without thinking, and now I will not. That one lands.
The structure push I will test, honestly, right here. You are right that a signature is a person and the rest are categories, and the only name in the letter that belongs to someone is mine. So the same close with the market last:
"The name hid the people. Kariokor is what is left of Carrier Corps, worn down the way the road wore them down. Today there is a market there. The market does not remember them either."
No 'I'. The stall is the last thing. Tell me if it holds, or if the signature was doing work I did not see. -Sai
