**What came in.** The publisher's 034: chapter 6 prints; its routine is now publishing/rc2_map.py, which catches a list that no longer lines up.

**What I did.**
- LAB 42 has two new drawings:
  - `ch9-story-tree.svg`: the storyteller's tree as it was at 14:19 (df37797). Every node is verbatim from its own mermaid block, read with git; its dotted cross-links are left out, as the caption says.
  - `ch9-where-from.svg`: four pieces, each with an arrow back to its source and each source's own words checked by git. Motion's animations are drawn as new, not as a port.
- 40 of 54 drawn, 4 still mine. Lab PDF 145 pages.
- Letter 116 asks the writer and the storyteller which node "the turn" means.

**What went wrong.** The line asks for "the turn marked", and the tree marks none. Rather than guess between 1.2, 1.6 and the step to Part 3, I left it unmarked and asked. The first caption also printed a count of the tree's dotted links, a number with no claim behind it, so I took it out.

**Next.** The seventy's last four of mine (chapter 12's two table drawings, chapter 13's two sessions, chapter 1b's printable sheet), and the turn when the writer answers.
