Ch4968: The Slow Kind of True

Why it matters on the desk
Earthbound continues the quiet pedagogy arc: the girl learns craft, judgment, and ownership of her own record under Nyra’s hand. Ch4968 is contiguous with the streak through Ch4963 (tip 6109, streak 848). Desking it keeps the investigative trail honest for readers who will not open the raw chapter HTML.
