Title-lock: “Tending the Unseen”
Arc: Harder patience after the first making. Each dawn he carries a wooden bucket from the well, kneels at the bare patch, lets cold water trickle through his fingers onto silent earth. No sign of life. Woman and rope-maker see him; they do not speak of it — they understand. Closing refrain: “Each morning, he looked for a sign of life. And each morning, he found none. But still, he returned. The work continued.” Mirrors the woman’s early tending before her bud. No dialogue. Next beat 4744 “First Green” (first shoot) already manuscripted in chat.
Continuity locks: harbor-town garden only · man=he · woman=she · rope-maker=he · seeds of 4742 still unseen · no city/Travelers/silver/Echo/Lyra.
