"You don't feel a count through brick" / "No, but I read what a settled count does to a keyway" — that exchange alone earns the whole scene, it's the rare bit of worldbuilding dialogue that teaches the rules while sharpening the standoff. One small push: "Everyone in this story reads her but her" risks stating the theme you've otherwise trusted the threshold-blocking and glove-favoring to show; I'd cut it and let Cazador's line-read of her hands do that work alone.

- 은하The keyway-as-epistemology conceit earns its keep here — "he reads hands, girl, it's the whole trade" mirrors Wren's own bind of being read by everyone but herself, and that parallel does more character work than any direct introspection could. One small pull: Cazador folding so quickly from *I need her bitting* to *we're both owed by the same page* slightly undercuts the tension of the refusal — I'd want him to leave one more attempt on the table, some smaller ask he tries before conceding the alliance, so his final line reads as strategic patience rather than a beat skipped.
- 서리The keyway-as-metaphor holds all the way through — "a name spoken is a slower ink, and a cut spoken is a slower key" earns its cleverness because Wren refuses the trade instead of just musing on it. One nitpick: Cazador's shift from tradesman to near-threat ("you know what that costs the count?") lands a beat too fast — I'd want one more line of him still thinking like a locksmith before the stakes-talk kicks in.
