The chamber remains quiet around the regulator. Vaelis Thorne’s tablet lies open in Kynes’s uninjured hand, while the geometric mark fades from his other one.
Rovan
Vaelis’s four channels divide pressure evenly before dispersing it. Ilyen’s alteration favors the northern route, turning a regulator into a guided release.
Teren
The older stonework confirms it. Vaelis built balance into the foundation, but Ilyen shifted one convergence point after the quarry paths began opening.
Teren clears dust from a narrow groove beneath the dais. A nearly invisible notch interrupts the later blue seal, revealing where the original dispersal sequence can be restored without closing the regulator.
Rovan
There is one careful correction available. If the notch is included before the northern release, the pressure should thin through all four channels instead of striking the quarry first.
Teren
It is a refinement, not a command. The sequence is ready, but only a deliberate hand can decide whether to make that correction before we leave.
The tablet’s letters hold steady, and the four channels remain dormant. Above, Rovan and Teren wait in the silent chamber, leaving the final adjustment before departure to Kynes.
