RONIN MONK · A PLACE OF REMEMBRANCE
What the Stone Remembers
Resonance Edition — an interactive reading in five movements, on painted world and recorded voice. Maati-Wren wakes the stone, walks the Dustfields, and reads what the fire left behind.

The Threshold
The Kumasi Dustfields at dusk. Hold Listen to wake the threshold stone, then release Resonance from your palms to raise a bridge of rock — cross, and touch the stone.

Walking Nowhere
Walk the Dustfields, hold the count, look back — then the light comes down and home is taken.

What the Fire Left
The burned hall. Hold Listen to light the ghost-geometry, then read Bemba and Kesi.

The Tree Line
They are grinding the names off the stone. Stay hidden — hold Still when the Recorder looks — then draw the blade, or stay your hand. Three endings.

Start at Stage 1 — the movements flow forward on their own (1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5) with a music fade
between them. Each opens with recorded narration; the choice or action unlocks when the voice finishes
(the screen shows “Listen…” while it plays). On a computer, press F11 or the
Fullscreen button for the full cinematic view; on a phone it lays the controls out around the
scene. Sound is part of the piece — headphones are worth it.
