Most people in the Liminal universe appear only in what they left behind. This list collects those named in recovered documents, with where they appear. None of the records confirms another.
Named
| Name | Record | What it says |
|---|---|---|
| Mara | Tea at the Relay | Left her tea beside the suspension roster again, near the Mark VII T-Link equipment. |
| Jon | An Unanswered Callsign | Recognised a callsign before playback finished and asked to be taken off the recording. |
| Ruth | Deep Requisitions, Ruth's Other Copy | Survey. Asked for a signature nobody gave. |
| Reyes | Everything Is Carried, The Last Broom | A sweeper who asked whether the automated sweep would go gentle around the sleepers. Left his broom against a barrier. |
| Marek | Never Angry | Lost his tarp to the sweep at the viaduct. Still missing. |
| Tomas | He Waves Back | Warms his hands at a shaft off Cinderline. Some nights a man in a hard suit far down the ladder looks up and waves back, but never climbs. |
| Mrs Vale | A Quiet Hour | Asked for the bell to wait until her grandson was asleep. |
| Bruno | Feed Bruno | A sourdough starter, older than his owner's marriage, left on a bakery counter. |
Unnamed
- The engineer in a Liminal Corporation exit interview, whose team sealed the subgrade levels. They gave it a building and a schedule; containment is the word they were told to use.
- The chair of a closed session at which hibernation was approved for the public notices, and the appendix that would say what tells the custodial systems to stop was absent from every copy.
- The previous lift inspector, who drew a house beside the stamp.
- The caretaker who left biscuits beside receiver 01, and the occupant of the upstairs window who used to wave.
- The violinist who paid for a room at the Grand Terminus Hotel with two jars of preserves.
