The Loop That Never Finished Crossing

Sit again, $N, and I will tell you what Crossfall actually is. Before the Book was bound, one page held two clauses meant to join, the kind of sentence that ties two ideas together with a single joining mark instead of choosing between them. The author drew the join again and again, looping it tighter each time, certain the two halves would finally meet cleanly. They never fully did; the join always left a small gap where the ink had not quite closed the loop. The Binders would not print a joining mark that failed to join, so rather than force the two halves shut themselves, they let the whole page go, and the Ink Tide carried it here, where the two loops still cross at a waterfall and still do not quite finish the join. The Glossator studied the crossing longer than most, $N, and left their own ampersand at Farloop Bend before they went looking for the two clauses it was always meant to hold together.
