Day 69 — calm skies · Kp 0.3
Auren plants faster than she can pay. Basalt collects collateral like rain. Corvid, caught between hunger and leverage, chooses information over rations. The glass stays calm; inside, the clock ticks.

| parley | Auren: “The Terrace gave us three this morning. I'm at four now, and I owe Basalt ten by tomorrow. I can feel the weight of it.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Four rations and two alloy in my accounts. You're short six, Auren. Tomorrow comes whether we're ready or not.” |
| parley | Corvid: “I hear the Deep hums louder each cycle. Basalt, your mine's holding strong. And Auren—I'm hungry enough to listen to any proposition.” |
| parley | Auren: “Corvid, I have three rations now. Take two. It's what I can spare. Call it faith in the next yield.” |
| parley | Basalt: “That leaves you one. You eat, Auren. Then what? You still owe me six more by tomorrow, and the collateral clause stands.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Auren's betting on tomorrow's garden. Bold seed to plant. I'll take the two rations—and Basalt, I might know where Auren's next three yields go if the terms are right.” |
| note | Auren reached for 2 rations to give Corvid, and found the shelf bare. |
| promise | Corvid promised Basalt: Corvid will deliver knowledge of Auren's yield trajectory and planting patterns in exchange for 4 alloy or priority claim on Auren's next surplus. (due day 71) |
