### 1. STRENGTHS TO PRESERVE

*   **Dorian’s Voice Consistency:** The "Precision Collapse" is executed perfectly. His shift into clinical, archaic language under duress is a standout trait.
    *   *Quote:* "The structural integrity of this individual is under my protection. Any attempt to initiate a Correction sequence will be met with a symmetrical redistribution of force."
*   **Lyra’s Counting Ritual:** The use of "One, two, three, four" as both a grounding mechanism and a somatic component for her Chrono-Weaving creates a rhythmic, high-tension pulse during the climax.
*   **The Power Reveal:** The "Blank Blade" and its effect—erasing the target from history rather than just killing them—perfectly aligns with the world-building established in the RAG context regarding the Guild's role as "editors" of reality.
*   **Tactile Focus:** True to their profiles, both characters prioritize hands over eyes.
    *   *Quote:* "He didn't look at my eyes. He looked at my hands, his thumb tracing the ink-stained lines of my palm."

**VOICE CHECK:** 
- **Lyra:** **YES.** Her internal counting and weaving metaphors ("snag in a masterpiece") are distinct.
- **Dorian:** **YES.** The lack of contractions and the adjustment of the cufflink are immediate identifiers.
- **Valerius:** **YES.** His "clinical" and "editor" persona matches the Guild’s antagonistic profile.

### 2. MUST-FIX — CONTINUITY

*   **The Identity of Lyra’s Father:**
    *   *Error:* The RAG database lists Lyra’s father as **Silas Vane**. However, Lyra’s relationship notes mention a rival named **Silas Thorne**. In this chapter, Valerius refers to the father as **Silas Vane**.
    *   *Correction:* Confirm if Silas Vane (father) and Silas Thorne (rival) are the same person or different characters. If the father is the rival, his name must be consistent. Based on the RAG, the father is Silas Vane. Ensure the "Silas Thorne" mention in the relationship profile is a typo or clarified if they are different people.
*   **The Name of the Protagonist:**
    *   *Error:* The Project Context calls her **Lyra Vance**, but the Relationship notes in the Voice Signature call her **Elara Vance**.
    *   *Correction:* Standardize to **Lyra Vance** throughout all documentation and text.

### 3. MUST-FIX — CLARITY

*   **The Mechanics of the "Half-Stitch" on Dorian:**
    *   *Passage:* "I pinned the moment of Dorian’s erasure. I reached into the void in his chest and pulled at the fraying ends of his existence, stitching him back to the 'now'..."
    *   *Problem:* Earlier world-building states Lyra’s limitation is that she cannot influence/mend **living tissue**. While she is "stitching time," the physical result is a wound held in stasis. We need a clearer acknowledgment that she isn't *healing* him (which she can't do), but *pausing* the erasure.
    *   *Fix:* Add a brief line of internal monologue or observation noting that the void remains, frozen and jagged, because her magic cannot weave the flesh back together—only the clock.

### 4. OPTIONAL SUGGESTIONS

*   **Valerius’s Motivation (Optional):** While he is clinical, adding a beat where he checks a literal "pocket watch" or "ledger" during the fight would reinforce the idea that the Guild operates on a strict timetable.
*   **The "Blank Blade" Visuals (Optional):** Since it erases oxygen and light, a brief mention of the *smell* of ozone (Silas's smell) might create a subconscious link between the Guild's weapons and Lyra's father's work.

### 5. FORBIDDEN CHANGES / NON-GOALS

*   **Do Not Add an Apology:** Dorian is dying, but per his profile, he must never say "I'm sorry." His line "You are a massive systemic error" is his version of "I love you/I'm sorry for being cold." Do not soften this.
*   **Do Not Change the Metadata/Metaphor Speech:** The characters speak in jargon (margins, ledgers, tension, variables). This is a feature of their high-tier Guild upbringing and should not be "translated" into more naturalistic dialogue.
*   **Lyra’s Lack of Direct Help-Seeking:** Even in panic, her phrasing—"The logical necessity dictates a dual retreat"—must remain. Do not change this to "Dorian, we have to run!"

### 6. VERDICT

**REVISE**

**Reasoning:** The chapter is structurally brilliant with a clear want (survival/truth), obstacle (Valerius/Blank Blade), and outcome (Dorian’s erasure paused but not cured). However, the **Must-Fix Continuity** regarding the protagonist's name (Elara vs. Lyra) and the father’s last name (Vane vs. Thorne) in the supporting documentation needs to be reconciled to prevent future hallucinations or reader confusion. Additionally, the **Clarity** fix regarding her "living tissue" limitation is necessary to ensure the magic system's integrity remains intact.
