Missing Twine at the Bale

The hay bale’s twine loop was missing — one side neat, one side empty.
Pathway A: bird nest loot. Pathway B: goat chew theatre. Pathway C: Cap celebrity theft (frozen — no).
Spike LOOKED: chew fray matched goat teeth more than bird beak neatness.
Suzy found Biltong-looking innocence and a frayed strand near the legal browse branch.
Evidence path: goat practised off-plan chew. Soft redirect. Offer legal browse. Secure spare twine high.
They did not invent a villain Cap. Cap-13 freeze stays closed.
Thinking Cap habit: clue, then fix, then prevent. Cap does not magic-solve.
Little Thunder declined hay fashion accessories.
Kids: missing hairband — check chewers and tidy shelves before a mystery novel.
Care restores the bale. Lead prevents the next chew.
Clues closed with kindness.
Legal browse. Twine high.
