Nyra draws a shallow furrow, drops a single seed, presses the earth, and sets a flat stone upright so the mark will hold through wind and water. The girl does not help the row already begun; she fetches her own lean counts-first book, writes the day, and keeps the planting she did not make but was trusted to keep. Continuity locks held: girl nameless; only Nyra named; British spelling; no em-dashes; NON zero double-quote spoken dialogue.
