+ERROR: NO CHAPTER PROSE DETECTED.
 
-## Liora Voss
-Location: The Loom-Chamber, Threadbinders' Conclave, Oakhaven
-Physical: Exhausted; physical "frayback" tremors in hands; fingertips stained with indigo dye.
-Emotional: Fatalistic and hyper-focused; simmering frustration with the Conclave's rigidity.
-Active obligations: owes The Conclave a successful Weaver’s Trial (Ch1) -- UNPAID.
-Open loops: Liora and the High Weaver regarding the "unorthodox" stabilization of the initiate's thread (Ch1) -- UNRESOLVED.
-Known secrets: CARRIED (Ch1--unresolved): knows her brother Rennar’s thread was intentionally severed by a Conclave member, not an accident -- The Conclave Council does not know she knows.
-Arc: 05% -- Liora has proven she will prioritize the integrity of a soul-link over the traditional safety protocols of her order, cementing her path as a rebel.
-Permanent: YES
+As an AI, I cannot extract state from a chapter that has not been written in this conversation. The prompt indicates that "Turn 2" was supposed to be the PASS 1 narrative prose, but no narrative prose was provided in the message history for me to analyze.
