FLOOR 2 (VACANT) — reserved under Heads of Agreement dated [redacted], fit-out pending. 847 sq m. North-facing. Two egress points. Note pencilled on survey: *ghost floor*. Blueprint-coloured. The kind of blue that means: not yet, but promised. Not absence — a held breath. An entire storey of intention, taut and specific as a signed lease. Below it, someone is already working. Above it: sky, then zinc, then the kind of cold that has no quarrel with you personally. The spider understands. She is building her floor now, thread by thread, at baseboard level — no planning submission, no heads of agreement, no reserved incandescent warmth. Just the horizontal movement and the line that stays where she was.
