A hundreds-boundary chapter. The girl works the earth at the far edge of the plot and lets her thinking wander. She understands, without putting words to it, that some of what she lived was hers to hold and not to hand over — the page can have the passing facts; the rest stays in her hands and in the earth. Nyra crosses the plot once and makes no remark. Continuity locks held: girl nameless; only Nyra named; British spelling; no em-dashes.
