## Ch13: The Weight of It — Detailed Timeline
| Time | Bell | Event |
|------|------|-------|
| ~5:00-6:00 PM | ~Fifth-sixth bell | Chapter opens. Phelan has been in Devod's room two-three bells since arrival (~3:25 PM). Tanner and neighbor woman have departed. Room emptied of strangers. Mere cycling through stabilization compounds. |
| ~6:00 PM | — | Leon arrives (Ledger sent word to Chandler's Row). Stops in doorway. Can't enter. |
| ~6:30-7:00 PM | — | Mere discovers drain echo. Binding salts at left wrist darkening faster than other pulse points. "Something is still pulling." |
| ~7:00-7:15 PM | — | Mere mixes concentrated binding salt compound. Applies to left wrist endpoint. Thirty seconds to a minute held. Fresh diagnostic salts hold color — pulling stopped. "Now his body can start." |
| ~7:15-7:30 PM | — | Ledger has returned (appeared in corridor unannounced during treatment). Phelan steps into corridor. Team debate: Phelan's hunt instinct vs. strategic patience. Leon and Ledger argue Kae is evidence. Phelan concedes. Leon commits. Ledger: safe house prepared, medical contact by morning, resources "not limited to this situation." |
| ~7:30 PM | — | Leon departs. Training off tomorrow. Phelan returns to Devod's room. Sits. Chapter ends. |
**Key decisions made:**
- Tomorrow (Day 12): Scene assessment at Devod's room, then build the case properly
- Training cancelled Day 12
- Ledger's safe house and medical resources formalized — available for Kae's eventual custody
- Strategic approach: save Kae (evidence), don't hunt him
