Sleeping Arrangements. The Fellowship departs Juramentum aboard the trireme Frankus, and in the shifting watches and sleeping positions of that first night at sea, the true architecture of trust reveals itself. Titus's journal — a raw excavation of his father Falco Vorn, the forgotten second son who lived in his brother Julius's shadow. The grief Titus never processed, compressed into stone inside his mind. 'Leave the dead. I left him only with her.' Jabilo, Titus's closest Myrmidon companion, says farewell at the docks in a scene of quiet military brotherhood. Indra joins Titus openly in kata on the deck for the first time. Devran gives the Sea Hag her due at the rail. Marcus bonds instantly with Frankus the pug. The crew — Antigone is Makarian, Brixius ('Combat Santa') is her mountain of a first mate. The sleeping arrangements themselves become a map of alliances, comfort, and vulnerability.
