| ~34 | Ch11 | **Thursday** | Seventh bell: Ledger delivers folio at shack. Morning: Phelan visits Floundry home, meets Calla, reviews reports, alias "Shade" chosen. Calla shows recent illegible scraps, asks him to return at third bell. Phelan visits Thresholds (briefs Mere, Devod Fields named). Third bell: return to Floundry home, sees Ned, full scraps progression, bracelet-enhanced Flaw Sight reveals 3-layer curse. Writes Ned a promise note. Walks home. |
| ~35 | Ch12 | **Friday** | Fifth bell: Phelan at table processing curse architecture from memory (bracelet-enhanced recall). Three-layer solution mapping: Layer 1 → ghostveil moss (dampening agent, Sniff/binding salts parallel); Layer 2 → forge-and-redirect (death ward technique); Layer 3 → anchor drift visible but unsolved. Brief stop at Thresholds (Mere gives Devod intel, doesn't go). Visits Devod at Millford Street (late morning). Case intel: Ned's vendor concerns, dead-drop instruction. Velken's Drift mine identified as ghostveil moss source. Devod mentions "my daughter" → Phelan's non-reaction reveals connection → testing questions → "partner" confirmed. **Charlette Fields named.** Mother revelation: owns Thresholds, income control, ultimatum at 12, Devod forced out. Unsent gifts (12 years). Expedition planned: Phelan, Mere, Devod + Carter supplies. Walks home — noise on two tracks (Layer 3 unsolved, Mere's situation). House plans look different. |
| ~36 | Ch13 | **Saturday** | Saturday morning: guild HQ, Compact regulatory letter (Section 14c), Ledger's note backing client. Cassius Rykhard encounter outside guild — 25 gold bribe offered and refused. Tenth bell: planning library, Mere and Devod first proximity, mine expedition planned. Saturday afternoon: Carter's shop, supplies assembled, focusing ring revealed and purchased (12 silvers). Walk home. Mine expedition set: tomorrow (Sunday), fifth bell. |
| ~37 | Ch14 | **Sunday** | Fifth bell departure from Drenwick, three hours SE by cart. Devod drives. Arrive Velken's Drift ~eighth bell. Mine entry: Flaw Sight overwhelmed by ambient residue (useless, not degraded). Bracelet filters worst but can't eliminate. Descent through galleries — Devod navigates by memory. Residue pocket encounter (3 seconds sensory overload). **Fight 1: four mine dogs** (mutated by residue). Ring first combat use: 12ft clean kill (amplified by residue), second shot dampened (melee required), ring vibration at threshold. Devod's walking stick deflects flanking dog from Mere — protective instinct, not the equipment. Mere catalogs the data point. Post-fight: ~30% reserves spent (vs. Barrows: 100% for 5 crawlers). Ring efficiency confirmed. **Ghostveil moss located:** east branch, second gallery, flooded sublevel. Old stock, high concentration. Mere estimates ~1 hour to harvest. **End hook:** human voices from deeper in the mine. Not empty. |
