Arc I — Arrival
01
One Knee
PD 606 · the Cathedral Sebastinum, Sebastopyr · the first 3-5 minutes after the rite closed
His body went to one knee before his mind decided. The slab is sound. The mortar is foreign. The brass nail-line bears something the System refuses to name. Six centuries old by feel, the tooling marks line up to high-Gothic Moravia — impossible, and possible. Stone under load does not lie.

Vas Halidani
PD 606 · the Cathedral Sebastinum, Sebastopyr · minutes 5-15 after the rite closed
Each of Mnehmos's seven steps bleeds the UNCATEGORIZED FORCE off the brass nail-line through Bohdan's palm. The masonry goes honest again. When his name lands third, he answers in Czech without thinking — 'Jsem zde.' The bridge translates. When Mnehmos says 'Vas Halidani,' the cistern below acquires legal title — rumor to record. He rises. The floor holds by more than reputation now; it holds by name.

Arc I — The Summoning
01
Function Over Title
PD 606 · Day 2 · 07:12 → 21:14 — the east curtain, two saved braces, the wall holds, the title catches up with the work
