+The Lucent tether station turns slowly enough for executives to call it graceful and fast enough for the floor to keep remembering physics.
+
+Through the crisis feed, Mara Quell sees the transfer lounge at the media-eye end of the tether: glass walls, an elevator gate with a waist-high glass rail along its threshold, the city bubble far below like a sealed aquarium, every public surface bright with moderation overlays. Mara's private rail carries the controls; the lounge surfaces show enough status changes for Sol to know when the room has been edited. Sol Vant has one arm locked around Juno Ark. Juno is junior Reality Architecture, a feed-scaffold technician trained to shape overlays and packet routing, and is currently too close to Sol's hand to enjoy that fact.
+
+Feed Ops fills Mara's left rail with prompts, sponsor-risk colors, breach estimates, audience heat, and three mutually exclusive suggestions labeled URGENT. Pippa Lux, an empathy influencer with a monetized tremble in her lower lip, waits in soft focus on a side panel. Brant Vee, an outrage streamer whose audience treats nuance as a food allergy, is already shouting without audio, a mercy granted by a tired god with excellent bandwidth.
+
+Sol can hurt Juno before security can cross the lounge. Everyone can see everyone being seen.
+
+-> first_contact
+
+=== first_contact ===
+Mara opens the live crisis channel. The delay indicator jitters. Sol stares into three cameras at once and manages to look personally betrayed by all of them.
+
+// ghostlight.branch: branch-01-open-as-witness; action: speak; intent: recognize Sol before negotiating terms.
+* [Speak to Sol as a witness before making demands.]
+    "Sol Vant. I'm Mara. I am watching the same cut they gave everyone else, and I do not trust it to be complete. Talk to me before the room turns you into an ending."
+    ~ mara_trust += 2

+    ~ recognition_given = true
+    Sol blinks at the use of his whole name. The audience counter climbs because sincerity, like fire, is apparently also engagement.

+    ~ evidence_integrity += 2

+    Sol's jaw tightens. Evidence makes him real, but custody sounds like another office taking him away from himself.

+
+    "Oh, good. Private editing. My favorite public service."
+    -> proof_or_face
+
+=== proof_or_face ===
+Feed Ops surfaces the collapsed arbitration packet: debt review denied, appeal window vanished, contract penalties rebundled into a creator wellness initiative with excellent fonts.
+
+Juno's hand is half-hidden against the glass rail. She is breathing like a person trying to compress panic into technical documentation.
+
+{evidence_integrity >= 2: The proof trail has a custody seal now. It glows in the feed corner, small and legally annoying.|The proof trail is still moving through Lucent's systems, which means it is wearing a paper hat and walking into a wood chipper.}

+        Sol notices Juno's shoulder move. Not the whole thing, not enough to prove anything, but fear is famously bad at evidentiary standards.
+

+    - else:
+        ~ evidence_integrity += 1

+Pippa's side panel pulses with permission requests. Brant's panel pulses harder, because outrage has never met a door it did not headbutt.

+        Brant snarls, "This is what happens when a company turns debt into casting. Look at the contract, not the hostage's haircut."
+
+        Sol flinches at the joke, then hears the first half.
+    - else:
+        ~ sol_stability -= 1
+        Brant snarls, "Lucent built the trap and now this guy wants applause for bleeding in it."

+    ~ feed_control += 2

+    The feed becomes disciplined. The audience reads discipline as concealment, because sometimes the mob is not wrong, merely early and useless.
+    -> movement_gate
+
+=== movement_gate ===
+Security waits beyond the lounge doors in Lucent gray, visible enough to threaten and distant enough to be late. Juno's eyes flick toward the safe-line painted on the floor: a white arc two careful steps from the elevator-side glass rail.
+
+{hostage_safety >= 3: Juno has a little space now. Not freedom. A little space, which is the unit freedom uses when it is still negotiating.|Juno is still inside Sol's reach in every way that matters.}
+{security_pressure >= 3: Breach pressure rises. Someone off-feed has found a heroic number and fallen in love with it.|Security pressure is ugly but not yet commanding the room.}
+{sol_stability <= 0: Sol's performance is fraying into reflex. He is still reachable, but the channel is narrow.|Sol is frightened, angry, and still arranging himself into sentences. That is something.}

+    - else:

+        ~ safe_line = true
+        ~ juno_distance_from_glass = 2
+        Sol looks at the cameras, then at the packet, then at Juno. He hates the ritual. He also understands rituals are doors when walls have been professionally monetized. He opens his arm enough for Juno to cross the white arc without making it look like he has been edited into obedience.
+    - else:
+        ~ sol_stability -= 2
+        ~ audience_heat += 1
+        The handoff script hits the room like a branded apology. Sol sees the shape of a clip forming around him and nearly breaks it with Juno's body.
+    }

+    Sol exhales before he can turn it into a line. Feed Ops immediately flags CONTROL LOSS RISK, because mercy photographs badly unless sponsored.
+    -> contained_resolution
+
+=== contained_resolution ===
+The next seconds do not become clean. They become countable.
+
+{juno_gap and evidence_integrity >= 2: Juno's hidden checksum holds against the frozen packet. The proof has teeth now.}
+{lucent_reframe: Lucent's lower-thirds keep trying to rename the event into something with less liability and more vowels.}
+{panels_muted: Outside the official feed, muted influencers mime outrage through thumbnails. The silence becomes its own rumor.}
+{pippa_spoke: Pippa's viewers flood the rail with soft-focus fury. Some of it lands on Sol as pity. Some of it lands on Mara as branding.}
+{brant_spoke: Brant's clip is already moving faster than the crisis feed, dragging Lucent's contract machine into the center whether Mara likes his method or not.}
+{safe_line: The white arc has become more than paint now. It is the room's cheapest border between negotiation and obituary.}
+{security_receded: The corridor camera still shows security held back from the lounge doors, a visible absence doing more work than a threat.}
+{handoff_attempted: The stripped-down handoff script waits on Mara's rail, useful only if Sol can touch it without feeling the audience's teeth.}
+

+}
+
+=== ending_safe_evidence ===
+Juno steps clear on the safe line. Security does not surge. Sol lets the room see his empty hand before anyone can edit it into a weapon.
+
+The arbitration packet remains frozen with checksum and custody intact. It is not justice yet. It is evidence with witnesses, which is justice's less glamorous cousin and sometimes the one that survives.
+
+Mara keeps her mic open until Sol is contained, breathing, furious, and not dead.
+
+-> END
+
+=== ending_safe_compromised ===
+Juno gets clear. That is the part Mara lets herself count first.
+
+By the time Sol is contained, Lucent has already softened the packet into a debt-review narrative with generous lighting. The proof is not gone, but it has been dressed for a meeting where truth is expected to apologize for tone.
+
+Juno looks at Mara through the feed and mouths, "I had worse drafts."
+
+-> END
+
+=== ending_breach ===
+The breach order arrives through timing, not language: security bodies crossing from the lounge doors before the feed admits they have moved.
+
+Mara hears herself say Sol's name. The moderation delay eats the edge off it. In the lounge, Juno drops toward the white arc, Sol twists between her and the elevator-side glass rail, and the cameras choose angles with obscene competence.
+
+Everyone survives or almost does. The feed calls it decisive. Mara does not.
+
+-> END
+
+=== ending_devoured ===
+Juno is released into security hands. Sol is contained without blood on the glass.
+
+Then Lucent eats him live.
+
+The lower-third becomes a moral diagram: unstable creator, brave platform, lessons learned. The debt packet remains visible just long enough to prove the system can display evidence while digesting it.
+
+Mara signs off before her face can become the final kindness in the clip.
+
+-> END
+
+=== ending_truce ===
+No one moves enough to call it release. No one breaks enough to call it breach.
+
+Sol lowers his grip by an inch. Juno gets one hand visible. Mara keeps the debt packet on the rail and the breach team out of the frame. The audience hates the lack of climax with the moral force of people denied a purchased dessert.
+
+The feed stays live. The truce is ugly, temporary, and real.
