character-growth

This chapter appears to be a collection of authorial notes and reflections rather than a narrative segment, focusing on character relationships, particularly involving Steel, Tyra, and Amdijefri. It discusses the psychological complexity of Steel's character, potential plot timing related to Woodcarver offspring, and the evolving dynamic between Tyra and Steel, including Tyra's internal conflict and growth. The notes also hint at unresolved narrative elements and symbolic imagery involving Steel and other characters.
