An old three-sentence message hidden among shelter graffiti that identifies the red-hatted breakfast speaker.
Carl circles Shepherd's House twice before noticing red, runny writing partially obscured by later tags. It instructs the reader to look every morning at breakfast for someone in a red flap hat and links coffee to a speech.
The wording appears mundane enough to vanish among ordinary vandalism, but it is written in Syndicate Standard rather than English. Its age and placement show that the rendezvous clue was embedded in the original location long before the current floor.
Faded red alien-language sentences half-covered by crude tags on a graffiti-covered shelter wall.
The graffiti authenticates the sponsor flyer and identifies the exact person and moment Carl must observe.
