Elara revealed as guild informant. Afternoon: tail Compact operatives (Phelan + Leon via soundstones). Operatives converge on storage facility. Overheard reporting to Cass via soundstone. Cass confirmed. Evening: Phelan tells Carter it's Cass. Leon stays in field tracking operatives. **Night (~10th bell):** Leon calls via soundstone — found Kae at washing woman's tenement. Break-in, fight (five phases), crystal drain (3-4 seconds), Leon's rescue. Kae flees into warrens with crystal. Phelan returns to Chandler's Row — bracelet at half power. **Offpage (Day 9):** Calla Floundry drained at canal market (morning). Ned Floundry drained at home (~second bell afternoon). Cass's redirection of Kae already active. |

Late morning: Ledger arrives at Chandler's Row — Tier Two promotion (22 silvers, Archive access, alias formalised) + Floundry victim intel (Calla survived, Ned touch-and-go). Afternoon: Phelan + Leon debate defence vs. pursuit (no resolution). Leon's Stay or Bolt — stays. Evening: Devod arrives with apples and ideas. Wagon idea seeds manual bracelet recharge (untested). |

Mere discovers: Devod never signed away his share (Charlette lied), payment records show 3 silvers/month extortion for four years (age 12-16). Devod reveals ultimatum truth (gloves incident, threatened disappearance). Mere reclassifies both parents — Charlette as "closed account," Devod's model inverted. Shelves Thresholds fight for the case. Calls Devod "Dad" for first time in twelve years. ~Eleventh bell: chapter ends on changed quiet. |

 | 11 | Ch12 | **Day 11** (Wednesday equiv.) | **Offpage overnight:** Kae drains Devod at Millford Street. Sixth bell: training (15 seconds fire). Bracelet manual charge discovered (~50%→~70%). Mid-morning: Carter delivers studded jacket (ore studs + impact-response leather). Afternoon: Devod expected, doesn't show. ~3:15 PM: tanner brings news. Rush to Millford Street. Devod drained, life-threatening. Mere stabilizes (40 min). Ledger arrives — guild safe house, medical contacts. Chapter ends heavy: "a debt to collect." |

+## Ch15: The Wolf — Detailed Timeline
+
+| Time | Bell | Event |
+|------|------|-------|
+| Pre-dawn | Before sixth bell | Phelan wakes in the chair at Millford Street (slept overnight). Neck at bad angle. Mere at bedside (~38 hours continuous, breaks measured in minutes). Bracelet at 70%, passive thread dead. |
+| Early morning | — | Devod's eyes open — first real consciousness since the draining. Focused, present. Manages "Mere" and "How long?" Mere: "Two days. Rest." Same protocol as Phelan's Ch09 recovery. Devod complies. |
+| Mid-morning | — | Knock at the door. Brennan Toor arrives. Mere greets him by name — no surprise. "He's awake. Briefly." Brennan enters with combat-trained spatial awareness. Calls Devod "Wolf." "Word came through the network that you were down. Took me two days to get here from the northern contracts." |
+| Mid-morning | — | Brennan calls Phelan "the Locksmith" — guild nomenclature. Phelan's noise fires: Locksmith anomaly (guild intel reached Brennan's network — Ledger seed). Mere explains knowing Brennan since birth. |
+| Mid-morning | — | Brennan tells the Vethek Pass story (~23-24 years ago). Four ideas, three failures, fourth saved the unit. Devod as the Wolf — pack leader, first into close quarters. Phelan's internal cascade: everything remapped from civilian instinct to Pathfinder training. |
+| Mid-morning | — | Brennan asks about the draining. Phelan gives him Cass Rykhard's name. Brennan offers Aldric Vane contact (warehouse district, east side). Departs. Devod grips Brennan's forearm — two seconds, most physical effort since consciousness. |
+| Afternoon | — | Room resettles. Devod in real sleep. Phelan begins active bracelet charging — upper range resists more (pressurised stone, depleted reserves). Projects: 80% by evening, 90% by morning. |
+| Afternoon/evening | — | Phelan continues charging. Mere working. Quiet before the plan. |
+
+**Key decisions / new information:**
+- Devod's Pathfinder past now known to Phelan (Mere always knew)
+- Aldric Vane contact available for Ch16-17 planning
+- Brennan in Drenwick for a few more days
+- Bracelet actively charging toward 100% (manual push, upper range slower)
+- The Cairns network confirmed active — guild nomenclature anomaly filed
+
+**Next (Day 14+):**
+- Ch16: Planning the Impossible — team assembles plan to save Kae. Mere's herbal research, Phelan's Flaw Sight data, Devod's contribution, Aldric Vane contact. Thresholds three-way collaboration + Reversal beat (moved from Ch11).
+- Bracelet should reach ~90-100% by Day 14 morning
