Hal's eidetic recall returns: "Smothergill"

timeline_event

texture · 11 Nov YDAU, evening's end

When: 11 Nov YDAU evening, at Blood Sister's end
What: As Blood Sister ends, the child-actor's name that had tortured Hal all evening (the withdrawal-associated recall block) surfaces unbidden: "Out of nowhere Hal remembers: Smothergill." Closes the memory-block thread opened in scene 132 (event 85). Possalthwaite and Blott then arrive to report the disturbing thing (the maggoty fridge/corpse-smell) they found on tunnel-detail; Hal flips through cases looking for Low-Temperature Civics.
