ORIGINAL / SUPPLIED EXCERPT
At the archive
At dusk that Thursday, Mara unlocked the archive with the brass key. She felt worried because she did not know what Ivo had found. She looked at the door and then she listened. There was no sound. She wanted to leave, but she stayed.

What the proposed edit changes

- Removes repeated phrasing and shortens the pause.
- Keeps silence, Thursday dusk and Mara’s decision to stay.

Voice sample and boundaries Original voice sample: The rope tapped the mast. Once, then twice. Mara waited for a third sound that did not come. Use close third person, restrained sensory detail and short sentences where appropriate. Do not imitate a named author. Permitted revision Revise only the chapter 2 excerpt for pacing. Preserve Thursday dusk, the archive, Mara’s uncertainty, silence and her decision to stay. Do not add the contents of Ivo’s discovery. Keep the key contradiction flagged; do not invent a return scene or approve a repair. Author control Offer original and proposed text side by side or switchable, explain changes and retain the unresolved continuity question. A sample selector does not alter a manuscript or choose the canonical version. The author decides whether and how to repair continuity.
