Title-lock: “A Plot of His Own”
Arc: Next morning, sun not yet at harbor’s highest rim, the rope-maker returned with quiet purpose on the familiar path. Keeper already tending young sprouts; looked up, rose, wiped hands, took a small cloth-wrapped pouch from the bench and held it out. He took it — rough-spun cloth familiar in calloused hands; inside, small hard shapes of seeds. She gestured to a small empty plot of dark rich earth. The invitation was clear: a silent offering of trust and responsibility. For the first time he would not be mending or securing what already was, but nurturing what was to come. He closed his hand around the pouch — seeds a silent promise of a new kind of work, a new kind of connection.
Cast continuity: rope-maker he/his · keeper she/her — nameless; harbor garden; after Down the Row return-understanding (4724), first plot of his own.
