Enmity

This image shows a page from a book about club etiquette with a large circular area heavily blacked out. Within this circle, select phrases are highlighted in yellow, creating a stark contrast. A small note in red handwriting appears in the bottom right of the circle. The overall effect is of a redacted document with key phrases intentionally left visible, forming a new narrative from the original text.
