What this line claims
A line from the novel Current Drift (Chapter 2, spoken by Amaleto). It claims nothing about the world. It separates two statuses: an observation can be real and unexplained at once. Fiction: the characters and events are invented.
A line travels without its footnotes, so the claim and its status are on this page. All lines in this thread.
