Nerra Loam — Sage Zokor Fashion and the Seed Ledger
Nerra Loam maintains a seed ledger that occasionally lists gardens no one remembers planting. The adult zokor-inspired keeper wears sage and ivory, carrying samples in a cylindrical case with a label large enough to read without ceremony. Nerra's first response to a mysterious entry is always the same: check the ordinary records before inventing an extraordinary explanation.

The story of Nerra Loam
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
The newest entry described a courtyard beneath a demolished station. Its measurements were precise, its planting date impossible, and its caretaker named only as 'whoever returns.' Nerra searched old plans, interviewed former staff, and discovered that the station had once been built around a small garden maintained by night workers during their breaks.
When the building closed, the workers moved the surviving plants into containers scattered among their homes. The ledger had followed those living fragments, recording them as one garden because their keepers still exchanged cuttings and news. Its impossible date marked the first year the group had missed its annual reunion, not a prophecy about the future.
Nerra offered to help arrange a meeting but refused to collect every plant into a single display. The scattered gardens had become part of real homes, and preserving their history did not require undoing that work. Instead, each keeper contributed a description and chose whether to share a cutting.
Tomorrow, the reunion will take place in a new public courtyard with room for the people as well as the plants. Nerra's case holds blank labels and a few carefully agreed samples. The ledger has left one line open for whoever decides to return next.
