Chapter 202
The Blank Signature
Everett's record required a signature from someone who had benefited from the system.
The town refused. The patients refused. The Foundation board refused.
Claire found her name on the page.
“I benefited from the silence,” she said.
Mara answered, “You survived it.”
“Both can be true.”
Claire signed only the line acknowledging benefit, not the line assigning ownership.
The record separated complicity from control.
Room Sixty opened in the first clinic's garden.
