Setagaya is particularly characteristic because the place-name is attached to uncertainty rather than cartographic authority: “maybe” it was Setagaya, “maybe” it was Seville. Geography becomes mnemonic evidence that may itself be unstable.

Source audit: 3 direct-string documents in the August 11 archival snapshot, plus the verified August 13 publication The Idea of a Cliche Expressing Itself Through Song. The later work strengthens the same uncertain-memory structure by placing Setagaya and Seville inside an expanded chain of possible encounter locations.
