“The Shed Crown moved a wing-length toward the cathedral. The dust is undisturbed.”
Something is calling the crown — and it doesn't need to touch it.

A crown the Last Instar outgrew. Whoever keeps it dreams in molts — and wakes up slightly more themselves. It has never been kept, and has never needed to be.
It has moved a single wing-length toward the cathedral. Nothing in the Garden admits to moving it. The dust around it is undisturbed.
A crown that moves itself is either choosing or being called. The cathedral hums, and the crown listens. The houses watch.

The first things the Last Instar ever shed. Older than the Husk Cathedral. The houses refuse to say what Instar Zero is.
