The records disagree about height while a rescue takes place above the admitted limit. The lift sheet gives nineteen. Sava's Measures card gives twenty-three, as does the workers' log. At dusk the fence still says nineteen and the driver counts twenty-three lit floors. The contradictory documents do not turn the rescued men into a merely paper event. The cage has to rise above nineteen to reach them.
The engineer first says nobody is above nineteen. His finger then points above the stopped cage, and he says it is too low. The driver raises it and brings down three men, one injured. The engineer records an unauthorized lift and deducts three hours' pay. He acknowledges seeing them brought down without accepting the disputed height. The driver signs. Successful action has not forced the record to admit where the men were.
Sava contests one jurisdiction and stops at another. He turns his height card face up after the engineer turns it down. Asked to witness the pay deduction, he puts the card inside his paperback instead. The workers' unpaid log still carries their own account, without guaranteed protection. Sava's help is real but limited, and his motive for withholding the next act remains unstated.
