The Legal Room Quote

The quote said:

A legal room cannot own a story without witness.

Elise asked if this was generated today.

No metadata timestamp.

Bell mapped it to a backup branch from chapter 210.

At hearing, they presented the quote as context for the entire chain.

The judge asked where it came from.

No user, no signature.

Priya said only one function.

quote_sync_auto.

Elise wrote: if quote is legal and source is null, source becomes suspect.

A second quote appeared on the panel, older, same template:

if witness absent, continuity may continue.

She stared.

Continuation is not justice. she said.

In a private corridor, Bell and Priya found one old paper with both lines side by side and one scratch across the second.
