Night in the cottage

The rain continues as a drizzle. The lantern flickers between them, casting long shadows against the damp walls.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

Did you check the injector for salt like I asked?

Jenny traces the veins of the sea beet sketch with her pencil and rubs her swollen ankle through the bandage.

💭 peek at the thought

Yeah. Pulled it, flushed it with vinegar, blew it dry. No salt inside.

💭 peek at the thought

The injector’s clean, but the sleeve’s still pitted from the last run. I should file it smooth before I put it back in—otherwise it’ll wear the new seal quick.

Good. Don't let the vinegar get on the seals.

Jenny closes her notebook with a soft thud and looks at the seed tin drying near the stove.

💭 peek at the thought

At least one thing is working correctly. The engine isn't failing us like my leg.

🔧 Kevin17:33

Didn't. Wiped the seat clean with a dry rag before I seated the needle.

💭 peek at the thought

She remembers the last time I forgot and the rubber swelled. Won't happen again.
