Conflict in Chapter Two remains intimate: a frayed sock left at the foot of a sleeping man escalates into a morning dispute about shared space, a ledger entry misread nearly costs them a day’s rations, and the ship’s animal—an aging terrier the crew had rescued in a storm—escapes and nearly jumps into the sea. These small crises function like pebbles dropped into the ship's bowl; the ripples are contained, but they color the interior life. Tomas’s role is to steady these ripples. He does so with deft, almost invisible manipulations: he mends the sock and leaves it on the man’s bunk, he takes the misread ledger and redraws the columns more clearly, and he uses a familiar scrap of cloth to lure the terrier back with a scent that speaks of home.

And Rian—who had mocked him—accepted the map with an impatience that later softened into curiosity. Over the next weeks, Tomas found himself watching Rian in the dark hours, correcting not his speed, but the direction. “You cut the sail wrong because you aim for the edge,” Tomas said once, demonstrating with fingers that flattened and smoothed. “Aim for what holds it. The edge is easy; it’s the held part that matters.”
