Patient records, week of the Feast of St. John the Baptist

Case 47: Artisan, male, 34 years. Presenting with buboes in groin and armpit. Standard course of lancing and cauterization applied. Patient reported seeing “another self” walking in the street below his window. Described this double wearing strange garments of a type unknown—tight-fitting trousers and a short coat. Double appeared to be searching for something. When patient called out, the figure vanished. Patient expired 14 hours later.

Case 52: Widow, 62 years. No buboes visible. Complained of time moving incorrectly—claimed to have lived through Tuesday three consecutive mornings. Refused food, stating she had “already eaten tomorrow’s bread.” Exsanguinated from nose and mouth while physician present. Blood showed unusual coagulation properties.

Case 61: Child, 8 years. No plague symptoms whatsoever. Brought by parents for evaluation after speaking prophecies that later proved accurate. Child described a world of “moving pictures in boxes” and “carriages without horses.” When asked to draw what she saw, produced geometric patterns matching [SYMBOL CORRELATES WITH SECTOR 7 LAYOUT]. Child disappeared from sick room during night watch. No body recovered. Window sealed from inside.

— ARCHIVAL NOTATION —
Temporal symptoms precede plague mortality by variable intervals. Pattern suggests temporal displacement vectors converging on 1348 outbreak. The Gardeners mark this era as significant convergence point.
