Porthuset

The building nearest the tear has no permanent residents. It is a waystation — something to move through, not arrive at. There are sleeping pallets in three of the rooms, and someone keeps a woodpile stocked near the eastern entrance, but by unspoken agreement nobody stays more than two nights. The place does not feel unsafe. It feels like a threshold.

The walls of the main corridor are covered in text. Swedish in blue chalk, fading. Spinolandet chemical-symbol strings, some still faintly luminescent. A third script — dense, angular, arrived from the Vattenpandalandet side — that nobody who came through the Earth path can read. All three are recording the same thing: who was here, where they were going, whether they made it. The most recent Swedish entry is a name and an arrow. The name is crossed out. The arrow remains.
