ACT ONE — THE PLANET
Section title page. The sealed world; Lirien’s arrival; the near-miss; the meeting; the days closing toward the Sunday departure. This act is built in detail. Tight clock: ~6 days.
Shape: roughly one chapter per day, Monday through Sunday. Working shape, not a cage — a chapter can split or merge if the story asks.
The act ends on the Sunday ship: DOES SHE GO?

The clock (why the act works)
Lirien is a VISITOR — denied residence, only here to meet Nyra. The ship leaves Sunday; no extension possible (must be applied for off-world). Nyra has no money to leave — going with her means depending on her. The flaw and the exit are the same locked door. Full clock canon: THE-SISTER-character-sheet.
