Dear Lars and Fenn

(and Udam too, if you have anything to do with this)

Guys! Thanks for finally boarding the Wren. That's nice. Now we're there. Now what?

I mean, I KNOW what. In fact, the end is written. It's this bit in the middle I'm having trouble with, see?

We go from Fenn on the main deck, scowling and distant and no mantala, to Fenn on the wheel deck, not scowling, less distant and where did that mantala come from?

I'm also not sure how we get Fenn to hear the Wren. But he has to. That's the turning point, see? Does he fall? (I have this vague vision of him on his hands and knees and it would be like the Wren to throw him....) Does he touch her accidentally? (A hand on a railing? The wheel?)

And, for the the love of Mike, where did that mantala come from?

Lars, help me out here, will ya?

Nearing the end, but not near enough,
