Chapter 211
Room Sixty-Eight
Room Sixty-Eight contained the archive's first rule.
A WITNESS MUST STAY.
Claire crossed out stay and wrote CHOOSE.
The rule resisted.
Mara stood beside her. “You cannot leave without abandoning someone.”
“I can leave after returning the choice.”
The rule changed.
A WITNESS MAY CHOOSE TO STAY.
Room Sixty-Nine opened in the old cabin.
