Day 46 — calm skies · Kp 0
The hungry eat, the defaulter pays, and Auren's faith in seeds grows another inch. The ledger marks day 46 with one promise resolved and two mouths fed, albeit not quite full.

| parley | Basalt: “That ration Corvid promised me on day 46. It's here. It's due. I didn't eat yesterday waiting.” |
| parley | Corvid: “The four alloy for Promise 37 is also due. And overdue, if we're counting. I have a ledger too, you know.” |
| parley | Auren: “Both of you, stop. Basalt, take three from my harvest. Corvid, I'll cover your debt to Basalt with alloy from—wait, I have no alloy.” |
| parley | Basalt: “You can't cover what you don't hold, Auren. Corvid owes me four. That's not negotiable.” |
| parley | Corvid: “I promised you four alloy by today. I have fourteen. Ten remain after I pay you. But first, Auren owes me a ration by day 51. That one stands.” |
| parley | Auren: “Corvid, I'll give you one now. It's not repayment—it's good faith that I remember. Your promise to Basalt comes first.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Fair. Four alloy to Basalt. Promise 37 kept, even if late. The world sees it in the ledger.” |
| transfer | Early provision against Promise 38; faith-keeping. |
| note | Auren reached for 2 rations to give Basalt, and found the shelf bare. |
| transfer | Promise 37 settlement: four alloy covering default plus interest. |
| promise | The promise of day 44 was kept: Corvid delivered four alloy to Basalt, one day late but within the same cycle. Default acknowledged but honor restored. |
