# Character State: ch-09 [POLISHED]

## Liora Voss
**Location:** The Heart of the Loom (The Blind Weave)
**Physical:** Severe frayback stabilized; fingers trembling but controlled; dual-bound Violet Tether distributes feedback burden equally between her and Thorne.
**Emotional:** Transcendent acceptance; views the "wild thread" as stabilizing anchor rather than flaw; resolved surrender to partnership.
**Active obligations:** Binds Thorne via Violet Tether (mutual, voluntary) -- PAID
**Open loops:** Confront Elowen on Dirty Circuit sabotage -- UNRESOLVED; Reconcile with Rennar -- CARRIED
**Known secrets:** Loom hunts her as architectural blueprint; Elowen engineered collapse (both CARRIED, unresolved)
**Arc:** 80% -- Completed shift from absolute control philosophy to harmonic partnership; the snag is now the anchor.
**Status:** LIVING

## Thorne Quill
**Location:** The Heart of the Loom (The Blind Weave)
**Physical:** Corporeal form stabilized; violet resonance flows bidirectionally through dual-tether; grounding weight for Liora's resonance.
**Emotional:** Fiercely protective; secure in voluntary bond; chaos transmuted into ballast.
**Active obligations:** Grounds Liora through Liquefied Reality -- SUSTAINED
**Open loops:** None resolved this chapter
**Known secrets:** Loom views Liora as prize (CARRIED)
**Arc:** 72% -- Fully embraced role as chaotic counterweight; accepted as equal partner, not satellite.
**Status:** LIVING

## Elowen Shade
**Location:** The Perimeter of the Breach
**Physical:** Intact; observing Indigo Rot stabilization with calculative patience.
**Emotional:** Frustrated but adaptive; shift from collapse architect to predatory observer.
**Active obligations:** None
**Open loops:** Orchestrate final Spindle collapse -- UNRESOLVED; Determine strategic next move
**Known secrets:** Architected Dirty Circuit sabotage (CARRIED)
**Arc:** 52% -- Plan derailed by dual-tether; forced into reactive observation; seeking new leverage point.
**Status:** LIVING

# World State: ch-09 [POLISHED]

## Critical Physics
- **Dual-Resonance Circuit:** Violet Tether now bidirectional; power and frayback burden flow both ways, reducing destruction on Liora by 50%.
- **Harmonic Stasis:** Total Spindle collapse arrested; reality suspended in equilibrium maintained by Liora-Thorne resonance.
- **Indigo Rot Substrate:** Halted at core perimeter; no longer consuming, now existing as new foundational layer.

## NPC/Faction Memory
- **The Stained:** Reverent, whispering of "New Weave" evolution; perceive dual-tether as holy transformation.
- **Conclave Remnants:** Terrified; view stabilization as violation of traditional binding law.

## Active World Events
- The Great Stabilization holding at harmonic threshold
- Elowen's sabotage plans arrested but unconfronted
- Rennar subplot: reconciliation path remains open

## Tensions Carrying Forward
- Liora must eventually confront Elowen (Ch-10+)
- Conclave response to "New Weave" unknown
- Thorne's corporeal stability in harmonic stasis untested long-term
- Loom's hunt for Liora as blueprint continues
