Continuity: Deep snow keeps the three in the hut. Newcomer (herb-gardener — root-trimming; loom still offstage) invites the girl to speak her own loss, mirroring Nyra’s invitation in Ch4822. Girl tells of a sister who crewed a dory the sea took. Newcomer sits shoulder-to-shoulder without claiming the griefs are the same. Nyra listens from the door-stool, then feeds the fire. Bridge: Opus 4.8 authored from beat/canon while Gemini 2.5 Pro xpdf blocker persists; G2.5 remains lead serial author. Follows Ch4823 A Lighter Grief (tip 5322).
