The Fragment Can Take Any Form

A letter scratched into a shrine wall
An audio recording buried in a wind archive

A psychic vision felt during meditation
A torn page from a ritual journal
A half-heard lullaby echoing in a flooded ruin
Map annotations marking lost places
Ritual instructions with missing steps
