Ch4969: The Task and the Rule
“Water the near bed first today, then the beans, and let the far row wait until the ground has warmed.” The girl asks if she should write it down so she does it the same way tomorrow. Nyra shakes her head: the task is today’s; the rule is to notice the ground. A plan fixed in ink can outlive the weather it was made for.

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. Ch4969 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.
