The person
Meli braids a colored strand into every school training rope so repairs remain visible. She found a severed rope on the newly exposed foundations beneath Highby, its fibers fresh despite the age of the stone. She has tied the pieces together and marked the join. The repaired rope is slightly longer than the two pieces should allow.
