Chapter 15 — What Staying Sees

STUB — to be drafted. POV: Arin (first Arin POV, emergent) · Location: the Tarn.

Inside Arin: the dignity and loneliness of staying; the lake out of season, a tide arriving wrong; the small, quiet habit of comparing what he notices with a few others who never leave. He does not think of it as building a "web." Staying as texture.

Carries: Arin POV opens (emergent); the watcher lists shown from the inside as a living practice. Withholds: that this is half a relay; that Lena is coming.
