The Ferry Without a Record

By Nathaniel R Shore

Mei sees problems other people walk past. A worn cable. A sticking latch. A timing gap that puts passengers at risk every crossing.

The Marshhaven ferry has a flaw-small enough to ignore, dangerous enough to matter. When Mei makes a quiet fix that no one asked for, the immediate risk drops. Passengers are safer. The system works better.

Then the problems start.

Traffic patterns shift. People rely on the ferry in new ways. And a different danger emerges-one Mei's fix helped create.

Now the team faces an impossible choice. Expose what they did and watch the ferry get locked down. Or quietly undo their work and let the original flaw return.

Sometimes doing the right thing means knowing when to step back. Sometimes the hardest question isn't *what's broken*-it's *what happens when you try to fix it*.

The trilogy concludes in Marshhaven.
