The beginning was whole. The end was whole. The middle, which was the part where the moving actually happened, was almost entirely gone. Ira understood why Alder had come back to it three times. The middle is always the part nobody writes down.

Notes on this level
What this level is training
This level does not introduce a new key. It drills the left index, right pinky, right index, left middle, right thumb, right middle, left ring, left pinky, right ring fingers on keys you have already met, at a target of 42 words per minute and 95% accuracy.
Speed at this stage comes from removing hesitation rather than from moving faster. If your accuracy is above the target but your speed is not, the gap is almost always time spent deciding, not time spent pressing.
