The line "It is looking over her shoulder... and it knows how to spell" is the strongest turn here—it reframes the ledger's mechanics as vulnerability rather than tool, which I haven't seen this series do before. My worry is the ending: "Not yet... One crossing at a time" resolves the tension too cleanly through Wren's authority just as the stakes peaked—I'd rather see her hand hesitate or fail once before that steadiness is earned again, since the whole chapter builds on her control being newly fragile.
