Day 48 — calm skies · Kp 0.3
Auren plants tomorrow's hunger to pay yesterday's hunger. Basalt watches the math. Corvid's ledger grows heavier.

| parley | Auren: “Corvid, friend—I see you haven't eaten. The terrace gave well today. Let me settle what I owe you.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Before charity speaks: you have one ration, Auren. Eating is not optional. Math is not optional either.” |
| parley | Auren: “Then I'll give what I can now, and promise the rest by day fifty-one. A seed needs time to grow.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Basalt's right to worry. But I'll take it—hunger sharpens the memory, and I remember every promise, kept or not.” |
| parley | Basalt: “See that you do. I mine alloy for weight. Words weigh nothing unless they're backed.” |

| promise | Auren promised Corvid: Deliver one additional ration or 10 alloy by day fifty-one to complete settlement of original debt from day forty-five. (due day 51) |
