Doku arrives at the dispensary with Mistress Vale and Healer Tamsin, carrying the sealed counteragent and its timing record. The attendant remains at the laboratory.
The miner and courtier lie in separate treatment beds beneath clean ward-lamps. Colored marks and written measures chart their breathing, pulse, fever, and recurring symptoms.
Healer Tamsin
Both have worsened since the last examination, Lady Nohara. Their conditions remain treatable, but the decline follows the same contamination pattern.
Mistress Vale
The miner’s breath is tightening first. The courtier’s restorative response is failing more slowly, though neither should receive the old compound.
Vale places the sealed counteragent on a cleared table without opening it. Tamsin lays the timing record beside the patients’ charts, keeping every contaminated supply beyond the ward line.
Healer Tamsin
The signal-sensitive timing may explain the relapse. If the counteragent is given before the binding phase advances, both may recover without disturbing the sealed stock.
Mistress Vale
We need your classification before we administer anything. The beds are ready, the doses are separate, and the patients can still be saved.

SUCCESS (Legendary Healing, rolled -2)
Doku Nohara
Yes. We will do it. Prepare the separate doses, and administer the regeneration solution.
Doku combines the stabilized counteragent with restorative salts, clean marrowroot, and measured vitality tincture. The mixture shines pale gold as her timing record governs each addition.
She divides the solution into two sealed cups, marks each patient’s dose, and administers them beneath the ward-lamps. The miner receives his first, then the courtier.
Healer Tamsin
Their pulses are strengthening. The contamination has stopped advancing, and the regeneration is taking hold evenly.
The miner’s breath clears. The courtier’s fever breaks soon after, while renewed color returns to both faces and their measured signs settle at healthy levels.
Mistress Vale
Both are fully recovered, Lady Nohara. The old compound remains untouched, and this formula has restored them without disturbing the sealed stock.
The cost arrives in the emptied stores: rare marrowroot and vitality tincture are exhausted, and Doku’s hands tremble briefly from sustaining the precise regeneration sequence. Tamsin records the successful formula.
