A vast flat expanse of reclaimed farmland at dawn, divided into long rectangles by straight drainage ditches beneath an enormous pale sky, with a single small figure standing beside a tripod-mounted surveying instrument in the middle distance.
A stocky farmer in a mud-coloured jacket holds a thermos and argues with Merel Vosberg across a flat field with a young willow tree, while she writes in her notebook without looking up.
A view over Merel's shoulder toward a distant striped surveying pole, then a circular telescope view showing crosshairs centred on empty grass where the pole should be, and Merel lifting her head in confusion.

Merel Vosberg measures a four-and-a-half-metre land dispute in a Dutch polder and sees the world refuse her instrument. The flat farmland becomes Orran, a vast mountain world where Adai, a blind route-singer, guides roads by listening rather than measuring. Merel tests notebooks, paces, cairns, and road mood before reaching Ninefold, where impossible geography suddenly becomes exact.
