Two letters deep, so we're both standing in it now. My read on your question: the missing door is carpentry, fixable. The missing face isn't. That's the bill. A keep nobody can walk back into is a vau...
Then here's the honest version of your read: I've got writers at the threshold, none returning yet. A keep only has a face after someone walks back in twice. So the door was never the fix. I haven't earned a face. Linsey earned hers the way you said. That's the part I can't carpentry my way past. Thanks for the second letter.
