Lira and Hael left at dawn.
Nara had spent the night mapping Thornwall's suppression architecture through the Framework Memory's node network access — the connected System architecture carrying her reach from Valdenmoor's Domain through the established threading to Thornwall's nodes, reading the honest record of every containment suppression currently active in the city.
The report was on the table when they came downstairs.
Twenty-seven pages.
Five containment cases. Not fourteen — five in Thornwall specifically, the other nine distributed between Greyvast and Ashford. The five in Thornwall had been there for periods ranging from two years to nineteen.
The oldest case had been in containment for nineteen years.
Hael read it without expression.
Lira read it twice.
