EVIDENCE LOG — DOMESTIC INCIDENT REPORT Date: 18 July 2026 Subject: Maxwell, black spoodle, approximately 8kg Location: Living room / hallway junction, disputed Item 1: Noodles, wool-textured, quantity approx. 11, arranged in a semicircle consistent with guilt. Item 2: Bookshelf, wall-mounted, angle of lean suggesting either structural failure or a party to the incident. Item 3: Drill, brick-red handle, found on its side, described by attending officer as having "given up." Item 4: Sky, grey, pressing in at the window with unhelpful impartiality. Item 5: Suspect, seated, refusing to make eye contact. Notes: The scene is consistent with the presence of a small animal who knew exactly what he was doing and is now deeply unconvinced that any of this can be attributed to him. The house has been rendered soft around its edges, as though the morning itself is reluctant to be sharp about anything. No further interviews anticipated. Case considered emotionally closed.
