Stand-There Scenes

Be moved to the evidence’s own moment

Second person, present tense — and every sentence licensed by a vault note. The signature move is the “what we actually know” toggle: flip it and the imagined sentences fade to ghosts, the inferred ones go amber, and only what is in the ground or in a text stays bright. One scene is open; the rest open as their narrations pass line-by-line licensing.
