 INT. CAVE MOUTH - A MOMENT LATER #22#
 
-/* The twist — and the proof of Rooster's code, not the violation of it. Rooster has been here the whole time — inside the cave, past a natural alcove, in pitch dark. The cave is the dead center of the shrink, the spot the wall reaches last; he came here to OUTLAST, not to ambush. He could have intervened in the Azure/Beanie fight. It was not his to enter, so he did not — a non-aggressor does not start what isn't aimed at him. He waited it out. Now the wall is closing on the final two: by Rain's rule, if both are alive when it shuts, NO ONE survives. The box Rain built leaves exactly one way for anyone to live, and Azure is the last armed body between Rooster and the wall. Even here Rooster will not shoot a kneeling man in the back — he makes Azure STAND, names him, gives him the moment. Azure says "take the shot." The first arrow ends the duel Rain forced; the second, after Azure lunges, is naked self-defense. He has his bow. He has one arrow nocked and one more ready. The hood is up. */
+/* The twist — proof of Rooster's code, not a violation. Rooster has been in the back alcove since before the Beanie fight; he did not intervene — not his quarrel. The cave is the shrink's last pocket; Rain's box makes mutual death the default if both live when the wall shuts. Rooster: stand, refuse "take the shot," sit (will not strike first), warn on the stolen blade. Azure hefts the sword, performs for Rain, lunges first ("Then die!"). FIRST SHOT: arrow looses only as the lunge commits — retaliation, same beat, separate lines on the page. Azure's blade gashes Rooster's beak; Azure staggers, still performing ("My lord. I have failed."). Punchline. SECOND LUNGE: empty-handed grab; SECOND SHOT: pure self-defense, Rooster steps aside. Hood never comes down. He exits over the green sword, sits where Beanie sat. */
 
 From the dark at the back-alcove of the cave, a quiet movement. A cloak hem whispers on stone. A bowstring tightens.

+Azure comes off the ground in one forceful dash — green sword leading, borrowed mod-steel aimed at the hood.
 
-It takes Azure through the upper chest — left side, high, a perfect arc given the cave's low ceiling and the point-blank range. But the force of Azure's lunge is as true as Rooster's arrow; the blade of Adrian connects with Rooster's beak, leaving a gash. He flinches, hard, gasping.

 Azure staggers. One step. Two. Stays on his feet, somehow, for one more.
