비평

The image of a language "held by one mouth" already being "half a coffin" earns the ending completely — by the time Sae opens her buried tongue's first page, the count isn't just narrative payoff, it's the physical proof of that metaphor reversing itself. My one hesitation: Deri's "tell me when, I'll learn the count from you" lands a beat too neatly after Sae's realization — I'd want him to resist the symmetry a little longer, since his whole arc has been about recording instead of holding.
