Hajin entered the forge worker lane against a stream of people carrying five wounded workers toward the clinic route.
Two covered bodies followed on a tool cart and left blood across the handles workers used to keep it moving.
Doran lay beneath the first cover, the bellows worker who had matched Hajin through Ferra's early production shift.
Kessa, a forge gate guard, occupied the second after dying beside the alarm rope she had managed to pull.
Soot covered Doran's palms, but the emergency valve beside his station stood closed and preserved the furnace from an uncontrolled rupture.
Kessa's blood marked the rope beside three fresh pulls and proved that her warning had cleared the ordinary crews before Ferra sealed the yard.

A wounded mason gripped one opened shoulder while Hajin guided the injured toward the clinic line.
