비평

The hand-gesture-instead-of-humming beat is the strongest choice here — Deri refusing to let the syllable touch his mouth while still admitting the count into his body says more about his archival ethics than any line of dialogue could. If I'd push for anything, it's that "I think I am afraid because I already know whose" risks tipping into telling what the previous thirteen chapters have earned the right to show; trust the reader to sit with the unnamed fourth body a beat longer before she names her own fear.
