# Character State: ch-08

## Liora Voss
**Location:** The Maw of the Loom (The Blind Weave)
**Physical:** Advanced frayback; harmonic oscillation causing visible tremor in fingers; sustained solely by the Violet Tether; eyes glowing with "The Sight."
**Emotional:** Defiant; has traded the safety of control for the volatility of a mutual bond.
**Active Obligations:** Binds Thorne via the Violet Tether — UNPAID
**Open Loops:** 
- Confronting Elowen Shade regarding the Dirty Circuit sabotage.
- Survival during the digestion of the Spindle.
**Known Secrets:** 
- The Loom is specifically hunting Liora as an architectural blueprint.
- Elowen Shade engineered the Dirty Circuit to trigger this collapse.
**Arc:** 60% — Has fully transitioned from "fixing" to "weaving." She now accepts vulnerability as the core of a thread’s strength.
**Status:** PERMANENT

## Thorne Quill
**Location:** The Maw of the Loom (The Blind Weave)
**Physical:** Semi-corporeal/translucent skin; violet veins pulsing with tether-light; acting as the grounding anchor for Liora’s consciousness.
**Emotional:** Resolute; finds purpose in being the "wild thread" that prevents Liora’s assimilation.
**Active Obligations:** Guiding Liora through the Liquefied Reality — UNPAID
**Open Loops:** Resisting the internal pull of the Loom’s siren call.
**Known Secrets:** Awareness that the Loom views Liora as its prize.
**Arc:** 55% — His role as the "unbound element" is solidified; he is no longer just a companion but a necessary chaotic balancer.
**Status:** PERMANENT

## Elowen Shade
**Status:** ACTIVE / ANTAGONIST
**Known Secrets:** Architect of the Dirty Circuit sabotage; currently observing the Breach’s progress.

# World State: ch-08

## NPC Memory
- **The Stained:** ECSTATIC. They perceive the reality-liquefaction as a religious "Unbinding." They are actively destroying the physical remains of the Conclave.

## Faction Attitudes
- **Threadbinders' Conclave:** EXTINCT. All command nodes have collapsed; individual binders are either dead, Stained, or fleeing.
- **The Stained:** REVOLUTIONARY. They currently "own" the physical space of the Spindle as it dissolves.

## Active World Events
- **The Maw of the Loom:** Standard physics (gravity, linearity) have been replaced by harmonic resonance. Reality is fluid.
- **The Threshold Breach:** TOTAL. The barrier between the physical world and the Blind Weave is gone. The Spindle is being "digested."
- **Violet Tether:** The only stable vector of existence remaining. If this snaps, the protagonists cease to exist as discrete entities.

## Critical Items/Forces
- **The Loom:** A predatory, sentient architectural force; it is attempting to "re-weave" Liora into its own core.
- **The Dirty Circuit:** EXHAUSTED. Its function—to drop the harmonic barriers—is complete. It exists now only as a ghost-signal in the weave.
- **Indigo Rot:** Spreading rapidly through any remaining physical structures.

## Logic & Physics
- **Harmonic Physics:** Movement is dictated by emotional/soul resonance rather than physical effort.
- **Frayback Acceleration:** The environment is hostile to individual "souls"; the pressure to merge with the collective Loom is constant.
