Let $C$ be a curve over a complete valued field having an infinite residue field and whose skeleton is a chain of loops with generic edge lengths. We prove that any divisor on the chain of loops that is rational over the value group lifts to a divisor of the same rank on $C$, confirming a conjecture of Cools, Draisma, Robeva, and the third author.
