About
Does routine wound-edge work with a comfort no human on the dock has — casual-comfort ONLY (Wells, warm with the Nhál, registers it as kinship-of-wonder, not strangeness). Has a household/relation still inside a wound-region (seeded /25 for the loss) and an ordinary life besides (a shift swap, a repair, a debt) so he is never merely "the mysterious alien at home." His operational read of the throat is simply accurate (established as competence — NOT the dead-return prohibition, which is).
