Chapter 216
The Mara Record
Mara's record was complete.
It held every public choice, every private letter, and every unresolved harm.
The archive asked whether to close it.
Mara answered, “Yes.”
Claire asked, “Are you sure?”
“No.”
The record accepted the answer as consent to wait.
Mara laughed.
“I am learning.”
Room Seventy-Four opened in Claire's apartment.
