+## Ch11: Thresholds — Detailed Timeline
+
+| Time | Bell | Event |
+|------|------|-------|
+| ~10:00 PM | Tenth bell | Leon departs Chandler's Row (exhausted, guilt-driven). "I'll check in tomorrow." Eyes the bracelet on the way out. Asks Mere to stop Phelan from testing the push theory. |
+| ~10:05 PM | Just past tenth bell | Devod stays behind. Helps Mere clear cups (handles left, heaviest on bottom). Wipes table. Stalling — deliberate busy work. |
+| ~10:10 PM | — | Devod's hands stop (tell). Retrieves second satchel from under his chair — Thresholds business records he's been carrying for a week. Sets papers on table. |
+| ~10:15 PM | — | Mere begins reading. Analyst mode. Discovery 1: partnership documents — joint ownership, no transfer, Devod never signed away his share. Filed analytically. |
+| ~10:25 PM | — | Discovery 2: payment records. 3 silvers/month FROM Devod TO Charlette, four years, stopping when Mere turned sixteen. Wrong for child support. "What was she holding over you?" |
+| ~10:30 PM | — | Devod delivers the ultimatum truth. Composure shift — calmer, more controlled than delivery-driver persona. Godsday visits, missing basics, gloves incident (Mere at twelve). Charlette's threat: take Mere and disappear. Payments began. "Across the street was all I was allowed." |
+| ~10:45 PM | — | Mere's cold finality. "She used access to her daughter as a financial instrument." Reclassifies both parents. "My model was wrong." |
+| ~10:50 PM | — | The shelving. Mere decides Thresholds fight waits — case takes priority. Papers stay on the table. |
+| ~10:55 PM | — | Devod prepares to leave. "Come by tomorrow, Dad." First use of "Dad" in twelve years. Devod exits with controlled composure. |
+| ~11:00 PM | Eleventh bell | Chapter ends. Changed quiet. Phelan stays present without speaking. |

 - Ch09: Mere's post-combat care: clinical assessment (eyes, hands, posture, pulse, pupils), herbal preparation pre-made, warmed stone in bed. No drama, singular focus.
 - Ch09: Leon and Mere at kitchen table post-chapter: filing tactical observations. Fire effectiveness confirmed. Kae's pain threshold data. "He was like a wounded animal, attacking wild for survival."
 - Next chapter: Ch10 — The Pivot. Cass weaponises the chaos. Floundry witnesses targeted.
+- Ch10: Bracelet auto-recharge confirmed broken (mechanism, not just depleted). Half power, no inlet. Mere flagged targeted expenditure — bracelet recognised attack signature. Architectural compatibility with Mallory crystal.
+- Ch10: Tier Two promotion delivered by Ledger at Chandler's Row. 22 silvers/month, Archive access, intelligence priority, alias formalised. First Ledger house call.
+- Ch10: Floundry victims — Calla drained canal market Day 9 morning (survived), Ned drained at home Day 9 ~second bell afternoon (touch and go). Targeted, sequential. Cass's "plan" from Ch08 was redirecting Kae at witnesses.
+- Ch10: Leon's Stay or Bolt — stays. Transactional framing: "I know the crystal's signature better than anyone." Phelan sees through it. Neither acknowledges the real reason (guilt).
+- Ch10: Devod's wagon idea — "If it won't pull, maybe you can push." Seeds manual bracelet recharge. Untested.
+- Next chapter: Ch11 — Thresholds. Mere-focused chapter, Day 10 evening.
+- Ch11: Same evening as Ch10 (Day 10). Leon departs ~tenth bell. Devod stays behind with Thresholds business records.
+- Ch11: Thresholds partnership documents — joint ownership, equal shares, no transfer clause. Dated seventeen years ago. Two signatures (Devod + Charlette). Charlette told Mere she bought Devod out — lied. Deed never transferred.
+- Ch11: Payment records — 3 silvers/month FROM Devod TO Charlette, first of month, four years. ~144 silvers total on ~8-9 silver/month income. Stopped month Mere turned sixteen. Not child support — extortion for proximity.
+- Ch11: Charlette's ultimatum — Mere at twelve, winter, no gloves, Devod bought three pairs. Charlette framed it as "undermining her." Threatened to take Mere and disappear. Devod stopped visits. Charlette then demanded payment when she learned he stayed in Drenwick.
+- Ch11: Devod's composure shift — calmer, more controlled during ultimatum truth. Fourth inconsistent observation (after: Book 1 walking stick, Millford Street parcels, cart to mine). Filed as unexplained data. NO Pathfinder/Wolf references. Seeds Ch15.
+- Ch11: Mere reclassifies Charlette ("She used access to her daughter as a financial instrument" — closed account) and Devod (model inverted — he didn't leave, he was forced out).
+- Ch11: Mere shelves Thresholds fight for the case — character growth, choosing delay over immediate action. Papers stay on table.
+- Ch11: "Come by tomorrow, Dad." — first use of "Dad" in twelve years. Replaced "Devod" (clinical distance name). Devod's controlled exit.
+- Ch11: Bracelet state — dim, half-charged. Consistent with Ch09-10 (crystal drain, auto-recharge broken).
+- Ch11: Devod's tell (hands stop) — used three times. Consistent with prior canon (Millford Street, cart to mine).
+- Ch11: Six noise parentheticals. Observer mode — Phelan peripheral, processing. All earned.
+- Next chapter: Ch12 — Devod. Cass points Kae at Devod Fields. Life-threatening draining. Carter delivers studded jacket. Ledger crisis response.
