# hammer.hanger-on · THE NAIL · CONTINUITY AUDIT (F, 28 Oct) · FINAL pass

Scene seconds.
- **F** = Faris: the hammer always in his RIGHT hand. His LEFT is on the haft, except 4.49-6.31, when it traps, takes and holds the spear.
- **M** = Mikku (yellow, chosen to read against Faris's blue): the spear in both hands (front hand forward).
- **Props:** the spear, drawn by the kill. It is held, wrenched away spinning, lands, is dragged by his hand, taken, stood point-down on his chest at a slant toward Faris, then driven.

Checked on the contact sheet and the per-level strips (`img/8plus/hammer_cine/hanger-on_*`).
