# Character State: ch-02
## Lyra Vance
Location: The Silent Library, Inner Vault, Deep Forest Archive
Physical: Exhausted, minor abrasions from the forest flight, fingertips tingling from proximity to the Archives ley-lines.
Emotional: Guarded, intellectually defensive, and begrudgingly intrigued.
Active obligations: owes herself the truth of the villages disappearance (ch-01) — UNPAID; owes Dorian access to the map's navigation (ch-02) — UNPAID.
Open loops: [Lyra/The Guild] why the village unraveled after the map was completed (ch-01) — UNRESOLVED; [Lyra/Dorian] the true nature of the "curse" he identified (ch-02) — UNRESOLVED.
Known secrets: CARRIED (Ch-01—unresolved): knows she finished the map that coincided with Oakhaven's erasure — the Guild; knows the map contains coordinates to a "lost home" Dorian seeks — Dorian (incomplete knowledge).
Arc: 20% — She has moved from a desperate fugitive to a wary collaborator, recognizing that her "curse" is a commodity that grants her leverage.
Permanent: YES
## Dorian Thorne
Location: The Silent Library, Inner Vault, Deep Forest Archive
Physical: Pristine condition; slight tension in the shoulders; adjusting left cufflink frequently.
Emotional: Calculating, clinical, and intensely focused.
Active obligations: owes Lyra protection from "Correction" squads while she deciphers the map (ch-02) — UNPAID.
Open loops: [Dorian/The Guild] his unauthorized presence in the Silent Library (ch-02) — UNRESOLVED; [Dorian/Home] the location of his lost origin point (ch-02) — UNRESOLVED.
Known secrets: knows Lyra is "thinned" by chrono-weaving (the curse) — Lyra (she knows the effect, not the Guild name for it); knows he is defying High Weaver Malakor by seeking his lost home — The Guild.
Arc: 15% — He has transitioned from a hunter/enforcer to a conspirator, choosing to bind his fate to a "glitch" in the pattern rather than erase it.
Permanent: YES
# World State: ch-02
## NPC Memory
- High Weaver Malakor (The Weavers Guild): HOSTILE (Passive) -- His shadows haunt the periphery of the Archive -- Dorian is actively hiding his discovery of Lyra from him.
## Faction Attitudes
- The Weavers Guild: PREDATORY -- Viewing deviations not just as errors to be fixed, but as resources to be harvested or silenced before they infect the "Perfect Pattern."
## Active World Events
- The Erasure of Oakhaven: COMPLETE -- The void left by the village is now a stable "Thinning" in the world's geography.
- The Truce of the Vault: ACTIVE -- A temporary cessation of hostilities between Dorian and Lyra based on mutual survival and the map's data.
- The Resonating Archive: IN PROGRESS -- The Library is reacting to the presence of both the map and a Chrono-Weaver, shifting its internal geometry.
