What the order touches lives inside a story, and a story does not last. That single fact governs everything else here. The reading has to be taken while the object still exists, which means the whole exercise finishes the same day it starts and cannot be picked up again tomorrow.

Confirmation that the order reaches the story you pointed it at and that the list on your side grows.
