Credits & source notes

Dustin Braun: original recorded voice, selected 1:55–2:09 from the long walk.

Codex: new creative writing, edition design and curation, October 28, 2026. The opening and poem are metaphor, not Dustin quotations or reconstructed memory.

Captions reuse an existing machine transcript. All words and timings remain provisional and have not been certified by human listening. The first and last words cross the cut and are marked for review.

Audio: a 14-second PCM excerpt decoded from the original AAC stream, without normalization, denoising, effects, added music or generated voice. The full recording is excluded.

This is an open-ended selection; the original walk continues beyond the cut. Recording date remains unverified. Edition work date: October 28, 2026.

Original recorded voice remains distinct from the new creative text and provisional automatic captions. Private full sources are not included in this selected payload. Source listing is not publication approval.
