	**What it does not give.** Not motion, not cause, not direction, not the condition of the seal as a whole, and nothing about whether anything is safe to open. One sensor at one place.

+	**What that gives the player.** One bounded next objective: inspect the known panel, trace which volume its pressure line currently samples, and check the sensor. The remote reading alone does not establish that connection or whether the signal reflects a real pressure change. This is an investigation at a known place, not a verdict about the section.

	- **Lent and reclaimed.** Dorn pulls the relay and hands it back himself rather than leaving the player to retrieve it, and thanks them for the loan specifically rather than for a gift. Yeva, at the bench, says the canisters are his work as much as hers.
	- **Postponed.** Yeva says she would rather be told no than have him keep asking on her behalf. Dorn says the panel will still be there. Neither withdraws anything and no trust is docked.
-	- **The reading shared with Yeva.** She asks whether that address sits on the near or the far side of the seal. Nobody aboard knows, and the question is better than the reading was — it turns a drifting number into something the player can go and settle.
+	- **The reading shared with Yeva.** She asks which side of the seal the panel's pressure line currently samples. Dorn knows where the panel is; its receiver channel does not show that plumbing connection. Her question gives the player something specific to trace when they inspect the panel.
	The crossed-out-name conversation happens on its own terms. Dorn eventually tells Yeva which name was his doing and why; she remembers that shift differently and says so. Neither account is corrected, and it is not conditional on the player having paid for anything. Two people who were both there remember it differently, which is not knowledge of what happened on this station.

	**The strongest alternative** is a project whose material commitment is genuinely irreversible — a part consumed, a thing that cannot be undone. That is a real design and it suits a project whose experience needs the weight of a decision that cannot be walked back. It is not an improvement to apply wherever a loan happens to be free, and this scene is not one that needs it.
-	**Accepted costs.** With nothing surrendered, this return may read as pleasant and inconsequential, and its value rests entirely on the people being worth spending time among — which no written scene establishes. Bespoke wants and reactions do not compose across a growing cast.
+	**Accepted costs.** With nothing surrendered, this return may read as pleasant and inconsequential, and its value rests entirely on the people being worth spending time among — which no written scene establishes. Additional wants and reactions require further authored work as the cast grows; this scene does not establish the amount or its production feasibility.
	**What would reopen the choice.** Evidence that returns like this play as errand-running rather than as time among people, or a specific project whose experience genuinely needs irreversibility. Not the general proposition that free loans should be made costly.
