| Ch 6 | Phelan encounters Carson at the chapel-workshop while tracing Kae's street network. Learns about the Church of the Ahole. Genuine liking. The anti-Phelan observation lands as a noise parenthetical. **Carter B-plot tie-in:** When Phelan mentions Supplier 2, Carson recognizes him as a fellow craftsman and follower — vouches for him and volunteers to squash the Compact's fabricated rumors through his network credibility over time. | Introduction |
| Ch 7-8 | Carson reveals Kae's hypothetical dilemmas and his own advice. Puzzle piece — Phelan understands Kae is seeking permission, not acting without conscience. | Investigation |
| Ch 19 | Carson's network tapped during "The Approach" — "I got a buddy" helps navigate Kae's protectors. | Plot support |
| Ch 5 | Referenced — Drannick (pipe smoker in warrens) refers Phelan to "the Reverend" Carson, workshop off Greywell Lane, three streets southwest. "Fix anything, knows everyone. If Kae talks to anybody, it's the Reverend." "Tell him Drannick sent you." | Pre-introduction referral |
| Ch 6 | **FINALIZED.** Phelan encounters Carson at the chapel-workshop. Full introduction: Church of the Ahole (shrine, apprentice, catchphrase), overbuilt everything, anti-Phelan noise parenthetical (collects people vs. avoids them). Phelan genuinely likes him. **Kae intel:** Chronic pain confirmed, Elara described, deterioration accelerating, overdue 10-14 days. Won't betray Kae's trust but will talk to him. Confirms Compact men asked same morning. **Carter B-plot:** Identifies Hendrick Voss (two streets north) as the supplier under fabricated-rumour pressure. Church follower, fish fry regular. Volunteers to counter rumours face-to-face with three lost buyers (2-3 weeks). Acknowledges his reach ends at the warrens boundary. **Coffee:** Assault-grade, served in brick-weight cups. | Introduction |
| Ch 8-9 | Carson reveals Kae's hypothetical dilemmas and his own advice. Puzzle piece — Phelan understands Kae is seeking permission, not acting without conscience. | Investigation |
| Ch 17 | Carson's network tapped during "The Approach" — "I got a buddy" helps navigate Kae's protectors. | Plot support |
| Post-resolution | Carson learns the truth about Kae through his own network — back channels, not told directly by Phelan or the team. The reader learns he knows, but never sees how he processes it. He just "knows things." | Off-page resolution |
