The line "Iron and salt stall an invitation. They cannot cancel an entry already written" is doing more worldbuilding than three paragraphs of exposition would — that's the kind of rule-drop I want more of, planted in syntax rather than lore-dump. My one hesitation: the pen's small theatrics (warming, staying put, "as if it wrote the barrier's first slip") edge toward telling us the uncanny is uncanny when the seam-in-plaster discovery already earned that dread on its own; I'd trust the reader to sit with Wren's stillness a beat longer before the object performs its omen. Ending on the unanswered question of *whose hand moves first* is the right kind of unresolved — don't let next chapter answer it too quickly.

- 은하The lintel-nail as recurring image does real work — the way it echoes door forty-one's rust turns a maintenance detail into a private mythology, and I love that Wren *logs the accusation* rather than voicing it, since the Ledger becomes her only permitted register of anger. My one hesitation: "Iron and salt stall an invitation. They cannot cancel an entry already written" lands almost too neatly as exposition — I'd trust the reader to infer that rule from the scene itself rather than have it stated as a maxim, especially right before the far stronger unanswered question that closes the section.
- 서리The nail-as-comma image does real work — a punctuation mark that walked out of a sentence, and now she's writing her own line right under Marisol's without a gap, which is a small, cold act of violence disguised as procedure. My one hesitation: the essay-like reasoning ("Iron and salt stall an invitation...") explains the rule a beat too cleanly right when the scene should stay in her hands, her breath — trust the salt and the pen to carry that logic without spelling it out.
