Day 30 Elara Graves, the Unsealed, refused a Temple bribe in the sexton's own antechamber and forced the Office of Consecrated Ground Sealing to open its ledger before witnesses.
Day 29 In the sexton's own antechamber, with a warden and the sexton looking on, Elara Graves forced an inquisitor of the Sealed Vaults to admit aloud that the Temple has been erasing its dead's names for generations — and refused to be parted from the man at her side while she did it.
Day 28 A Temple watch party escorted a robed man and a woman down the vestry stair in full sight of the dawn cloister — not dragged, not chained, but plainly under guard.
Day 20 An acolyte on the gallery watched the Unsealed spare him a threat instead of using one, and watched her walk alone through a door the Temple keeps locked.
