Twenty theatrical lighting gels, kept at minus twenty-two degrees, filed with the
tissue samples, in a cold store nobody could enter without a punched card.

They are gels. They are sheets of dyed polyester. There is no reason on earth to
refrigerate them and no reason at all to restrict access to them.

114 is a manufacturer's catalogue name for a deep amber-red. That is all it is.
That is all it has ever been.

The sleeve is here. The sheet is not.
