_Status: planned branch chapter. _
## Planned Function
- Preserve the Lawrence encounter while changing its consequence for the Church Path. - Make the helper jinn's survival morally dangerous: they are spared because they cooperate. - Leave James with a false impression that the pressure has become manageable.
## Continuity Locks
- Lawrence's helpers are jinn, not neutral spirits. - The shaytan's bargain should become legible through what becomes easier for it afterward. - The helper jinn do not die in this branch.
