Mian Tai Backstage Medicine Broker / 绵苔后台药品供给线

This character storyline binds Mian Tai to the source Saint Withdrawal event. The source already says that legal sedation and illegal withdrawal medicine coexist backstage, but the event currently asks only whether an AI patch covers the interruption or the artist is allowed to speak. The missing character pressure is who controls the actual stock, what debt follows it, and what survives when security raids the supply.

The central question is:

Do you protect and recruit the broker who can prove one batch’s source, narrowly license legal sedation stock, escrow illegal withdrawal medicine pending independent clinical review, publish the supply ledger, honor refusal by closing the clinic, let a sponsor capture the stock, suppress Mian Tai into hostility, or fail before the raid?

The source event is an availability beat, not proof of consent or treatment. This line opens only when a later sponsor, inspector, security, production, clinician, artist-route, or recovery reader is about to consume the supply row.

• Xi Sheng’s queue testimony and Luo Ji’s injury attribution remain adjacent evidence only. Neither substitutes for Mian Tai’s batch row.

Storyline spine

Beat 1 — Withdrawal exposes a real supply

The Saint Withdrawal event makes backstage medication pressure visible. The docket must identify legal sedation stock, illegal withdrawal medicine, mixed or unverified stock, or explicit absence. A generic clinic counter is not enough.

Beat 2 — Mian Tai names source, keeper, and debt

Mian Tai can prove which batch came from a sponsor clinic, a diverted worker channel, an artist handler, an unlicensed runner, or an unknown source. She also names the current keeper and the favor, payment, contract, or risk attached to the batch.

Beat 3 — Artist presence is not proxy consent

Li Xingtong occupies the exact source_artist slot, but card presence is not consent. The selected review posture records acknowledgement or refusal in the docket; the refusal replay does not assign a separate refusal card. Mian Tai can honor that recorded refusal, but she cannot author it for the artist. Any later treatment still needs a lawful custodian and fresh consent outside this supply review.

Beat 4 — The review changes person and supply

Run Mian Tai Withdrawal Supply Review. Each branch changes Mian Tai’s person-state, batch custody, medicine debt or raid pressure, a visible cost, and a named future route.

Beat 5 — A later reader consumes the custody row

A sponsor may accept only captured stock, an inspector may demand the discoverable ledger, a licensed clinician may reject unverified provenance, an artist route may require refusal or consent, and a recovery route may demand proof from the raid. No branch is universally accepted.

Missability and recovery

Suppression creates a hostile supply witness. Mian Tai is missed when a raid, sponsor seizure, or security cleanup closes the supply window before the docket records her or explicit absence, both supply categories or absence, source, keeper, debt, consent/clinical authority, and future reader.

Recovery must reopen a concrete scar: seized stock, a batch label, runner receipt, sponsor purchase order, security inventory, unpaid medicine debt, the artist’s separate refusal/consent row, or Mian Tai’s hostile testimony. Recovery never silently grants recruitment or medicine-use authority.
