The pen's warmth as the tell rather than the ink itself is the strongest choice here—it displaces the haunting from the visible (writing) to the tactile (holding), which is a sharper kind of dread. "A borrowed hand can put the pen down" earns its weight as the chapter's turn, but the closing line about strikethrough-as-lawful-tool risks over-explaining a mechanic the story could trust the reader to infer from action alone; I'd cut toward showing her *almost* strike an entry next chapter rather than narrating the rule twice.
