Chapter 4872 is LIVE. Title-lock from main HTML: The Lengthening Days. NON-DIALOGUE. Beat: long before the snow thinks of leaving, Nyra watches the light come a little sooner over the eastern ridge and stay a little later in the west. The cold is still deep, but the light has turned first — midday meltwater, a swelling bud, an early bird. Hope lives in learning to read the earliest signs. Continuity locks held: girl nameless; only Nyra named; British spelling; LIVE HTML is canon.
