# pistol.mid-in-amber → LOW ROAD · continuity audit (I, 28 Oct)

**Kill:** mid, 2.95 s, Hiba with a pistol.
**Lane file:** `58k_w_pistol_cine_i.js`.
**Home:** saloon.
**Map-independent:** FLOOR plus room58 [-60, 230]. It stages on 16/17 dry maps plus The Deep (it skips rooftops).

**How it was scrubbed:** at 0.1 s, gore 5, saloon plate.
- Sheet: `/Volumes/Workspace/Scratch/i/packs/scrub/ia_0.jpg`.
- Levels: `/Volumes/Workspace/Scratch/i/packs/lv6_k2.jpg`.
- 18-map finals: `/Volumes/Workspace/Scratch/i/packs/maps/mid-in-amber_grid.jpg`.

**The cause chain:**
1. She fires twice.
2. Faris dives into a forward roll under the rounds. The second round skims over his curled back.
3. He comes up on one knee inside her aim.
4. Round one takes her gun hand at the wrist. The hand and her pistol skitter away and rest on the floor.
5. Round two hits centre mass.
6. Faris stays down on the knee, then gets up.

**Changes in this pass:**
- The gore ladder was re-cut per §9, with `ending58: false`, so that each rung is chosen here rather than added on top:
  - XT and VH keep the old-style explode;
  - H now gets the STYLE rung (two limbs + the head) instead of a full explode;
  - M gets its rung (a limb, sometimes the head).

| t (s) | Faris: hands | Hiba: hands | props | issue | fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0-0.18 | F pistol, B free | F pistol aimed (right hand), B on the grip | | | |
| 0.18-0.6 | the dive and the roll (spinBody): F gun tucked to his chest, B to the floor | rounds at 0.22 / 0.38 | muzzle, casings | | |
| 0.62-0.72 | up on one knee: F gun out, B on his knee | aims down at him | | | |
| 0.72 | round one, F recoil | the hand off at the wrist (from M up; L / VL a flinch) | her hand with her pistol in it tumbles and rests (stays) | | |
| 0.73-0.95 | F gun on her | the stump capped and pumping | | | |
| 0.95 | round two | XT/VH explode; H/M the STYLE rung; L a chest burst; VL a jolt | pieces land and stay | | |
| 1.0-2.1 | holds on one knee, F gun on what is left | the soul rises | | | |
| 2.1-2.95 | gets up, the gun lowered | | | | |
