Day 21 — calm skies · Kp 0
Auren keeps the ledger moving forward by the narrowest margin. Basalt collects paper, Corvid collects favors, and the glass stays quiet.

| parley | Basalt: “Promise 16 was due today, Auren. The ledger is watching.” |
| parley | Auren: “I know. The terrace gave me three, but I'm one short. Basalt, I can deliver two rations now and one more by day 24 if you'll wait.” |
| parley | Basalt: “You're hungry. You're always hungry. And you're asking me to extend credit on an extension. That's not how weight works.” |
| parley | Auren: “Then take the two now. It's something. I keep growing; I keep trying.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Basalt, take the two. Auren's word is soft, but her work is honest. And a hungry Keeper works slower tomorrow.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Fine. Two rations now. But day 24 is final. No further mercy.” |
| parley | Auren: “Thank you. Both of you. I'll make it right.” |
| note | Auren reached for 2 rations to give Basalt, and found the shelf bare. |
| promise | Auren promised Basalt: Deliver 1 ration by day 24 to complete settlement of promise 16 and restore baseline credit (due day 24) |
| promise | The promise of day 20 was kept: Partially settled with 2 rations; 1 ration extended to day 24 by mutual agreement |
