# Character State: ch-08 [POLISHED]

## Liora Voss
**Location:** The Maw of the Loom (The Blind Weave)
**Physical:** Advanced frayback; harmonic oscillation visible; sustained by Violet Tether; eyes glowing with "The Sight"
**Emotional:** Defiant vulnerability; accepting bond volatility as necessary cost
**Active obligations:** Binds Thorne via Violet Tether -- UNPAID
**Open loops:** Confront Elowen on Dirty Circuit sabotage -- UNRESOLVED | Survive Spindle digestion -- UNRESOLVED
**Known secrets:** Loom hunts her as architectural blueprint | Elowen engineered collapse
**Arc:** 65% -- Transitioned from "fixing" to "weaving"; vulnerability as thread-strength
**Status:** LIVING

## Thorne Quill
**Location:** The Maw of the Loom (The Blind Weave)
**Physical:** Semi-corporeal; violet veins pulsing tether-light; grounding anchor
**Emotional:** Resolute; embracing "wild thread" balancer role
**Active obligations:** Guide Liora through Liquefied Reality -- UNPAID
**Open loops:** Resist Loom's siren call -- UNRESOLVED
**Known secrets:** Loom views Liora as prize
**Arc:** 60% -- Role solidified as necessary chaotic equilibrium
**Status:** LIVING

## Elowen Shade
**Location:** Observing the Breach (coordinates unknown)
**Physical:** Uninjured; mobilized
**Emotional:** Calculating; predatory ascendance
**Active obligations:** None
**Open loops:** Orchestrate final Spindle collapse -- UNRESOLVED
**Known secrets:** Architected Dirty Circuit sabotage
**Arc:** 45% -- Saboteur transitioning to reality-consumer
**Status:** LIVING

# World State: ch-08 [POLISHED]

**The Maw of the Loom:** Harmonic physics; emotional resonance dictates reality; standard laws suspended
**Threshold Breach:** TOTAL -- Barrier dissolved; Spindle actively digested
**Indigo Rot:** Spreading; dissolving structures into weave-substrate
**Conclave Status:** FUNCTIONALLY EXTINCT -- Command collapsed; remnants Stained or fleeing
**The Stained:** Revolutionary occupancy of Spindle remains; perceiving collapse as "Unbinding"
**Binding Vector:** Violet Tether = sole stable anchor; failure triggers assimilation
**Critical Physics:** Soul resonance priority; harmonic bonds supersede physical law; frayback = entropy marker
