Oxygen Mask Choir Living Witness / 氧气面罩合唱活证词线
The breach ward already contains the group, the intake rite, and the public-hearing rite. The missing line is their person-state: whether three oxygen-dependent audience members consent individually, remain coherent enough to corroborate one refrain, survive retaliation, or disappear into sponsor sedation.
State-triggered entry
The line begins through the existing ward sequence, not a fixed turn:
- storyteller-rite-ward-01-triage-ledger creates card-storyteller-breach-ward-ledger.
- storyteller-rite-ward-02-mask-choir assigns that ledger and fan.vigil_choir, grants the actual choir card, writes voice_integrity at least 2, and opens audience_witness_debt.
- Ward 03 records the wrong-name accident; Ward 04 secures Yan Ci’s affidavit.
- Ward 05 can then assign the actual choir, ledger, crowd affidavits, vigil witnesses, audit seal, consent row, protection plan, and future reader.
Ward 05 is unavailable without the actual choir and prior ward chain.
Storyline spine
Beat 1 — The masks carry a refrain
Ward 02 makes the three patients audible and materializes their real card. This proves an encounter, not recruitment or permission.
Beat 2 — The ward makes testimony costly
The ledger and Yan Ci affidavit prove medical context. They cannot consent for the group. The docket preserves individual consent or refusal, oxygen protection or sedation, group cohesion, future reader, actual card presence, and named counter changes.
Beat 3 — The group chooses a testimony posture
Ward 05 exposes eight non-equivalent outcomes: protected recruitment, public medical testimony, black-box backup, anonymous oath, member opt-out and split chorus, sponsor sedation capture, hostile countertestimony, or sedation miss.
Beat 4 — Future readers consume person-state
A recruited choir can corroborate one named chorus fragment with continuing oxygen protection. Public, anonymous, split, black-box, sponsor-only, hostile, and recovery-only states remain distinct. No state gives custody of the master tape.
Branch map
| Branch | Group state | Relief | Cost/scar | Future effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| protected recruitment | recruited living chorus | narrow corroboration route | oxygen guard and protection debt | oxygen guard required |
| public medical hearing | public medical witnesses | strong public proof | privacy exposure and oxygen pressure | public medical receipt required |
| black-box backup | black-box-backed witnesses | testimony survives retaliation | black-box debt and public delay | archive-only until readback |
| anonymous oath | anonymous medical oath | identities protected | public proof remains narrow | anonymous reader only |
| member opt-out | split chorus | individual refusal honored | cohesion loss and route delay | member-specific citation required |
| sponsor sedation bargain | sponsor-captured | immediate oxygen supplied | actual card lost and testimony captured | sponsor-only |
| suppression | hostile living witnesses | short-term silence | actual card lost and countertestimony | hostile countertestimony |
| sedation default | sedated and missed | none | actual card lost, medical harm, living proof lost | recovery-only |
Recruitability and missability
Recruitment requires choice 0, the actual choir card, voice_integrity at least 2, audience_witness_debt at least 1, the completed Ward 02–04 chain, and an oxygen protection plan. A static tag or testimony flag is not recruitment.
Choice 7 emits the source miss flag storyteller_mask_choir_sedated, removes the actual card, and resolves a guarded sedation event. Choice 6 also removes the card but preserves hostile countertestimony instead of a medical miss.
Boundaries
- Fan Oxygen Archive Audit owns oxygen-liability allocation and audit routing; this line owns three patients’ consent and group cohesion.
- fan.vigil_choir is a separate general fan witness queue, not these three patients.
- Lyra and the uncut master retain voice, memorial, and archive custody. The choir corroborates one heard fragment only.
- Yan Ci’s affidavit proves medical context; it does not consent for any choir member.
- Xi Sheng owns clinic queue priority. Luo Ji owns injury attribution. Neither owns this testimony state.
- Only source: storyteller satisfies this storyline.
Replay evidence
Fresh chained replays prove protected recruitment, member opt-out, hostile loss, and sedation miss/default. Every Ward 02 and Ward 05 slot contains an exact real catalog card; virtual slots or liability/recourse substitutes are invalid.
