   * **The scene is about listening, not extracting:** Sagan should not feel like a container of clues. His information comes from lived experience, shame, and memory. Allow pauses and let the players decide how hard they push.
-  * **Pouring rain defines the scene:** Whether the conversation takes place in Saw’s End, a wagon, a shed, or beneath an awning, the rain should remain present. It isolates the conversation from the rest of Morningstar and reinforces the sense that Sagan has nowhere dry left to go.
   * **Saw’s End is recommended, not mandatory:** The drink Sagan wanted gives the players a natural reason to take him there. However, the choice belongs to them. Do not redirect them if they select another credible location.
   * **The Forgotten Connection has consequences:** If Rogan exposed his identity at Django’s Diner, that choice may follow the group into this scene. At Saw’s End, Hammacher can recognize him and interrupt the conversation. The character-specific advantage therefore carries a meaningful cost.

If the chosen location has its own risks or active mechanics, such as Hammacher at Saw’s End or biometric scans at the Medical Station, those mechanics remain active during the conversation.
