At fifteen, you paused over a chaffinch defending new hatchlings from a small snake and forgot the opening school cricket match. Watching living behaviour is not idleness, but leaving a team unaware that its batsman is absent is still my fault. You step into this one-chapter preview with Ruthven at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Grey foam surrounded the boys as the first chapter closed without sight or sound of rescue. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
