Settlement Aftershock Ledger Storyline / 和解反震账本

Settlement Aftershock Ledger is a non-character pressure storyline for the moment after a dispute appears to be settled but its consequences have not finished moving through the show.

A sponsor package can save the slot and poison the fan ledger. A public receipt can restore audience trust and trigger stop-loss. An inspector seal can reduce fraud and turn the sponsor hostile. An editorial patch can keep continuity legible and create future archive debt. A quarantine can stop a false owner and make the public believe the producer buried grief.

This storyline makes that aftershock playable.

Primary playable question

When a settlement has already bought relief, who pays the debt that follows: the sponsor desk, fan public, inspector/archive, editor/black-box, route asset, or broadcast reality itself?

Every answer must preserve the earlier relief as history while changing future pressure, route access, or claimant hostility.

Why this is the next useful expansion

The current wiki surface already supports strong branch decisions through 认领撞锁, 播出实在漂移审计, Audience Stability Floor Storyline, Oxygen Claim Exchange Storyline, and Memorial Rights Contempt Storyline.

The remaining gap is not another first-order choice. It is what happens after the player chooses well enough to survive. Existing settlements can look finished even when their sponsor, fan, inspector, editor, archive, and broadcast-reality aftershocks should still be visible.

This storyline turns branch aftermath into durable management work instead of filler escalation.

State-triggered entry

Open this storyline when all of the following are true:

1. a prior branch produced a durable resolution, settlement, patch, seal, public receipt, split, quarantine, fan vigil, memorial license, sponsor containment, or equivalent;
2. that resolution recorded both relief and debt;
3. at least two aftershock surfaces remain live: fan public, sponsor desk, inspector/archive, editor/black-box, broadcast reality, route asset custody, artist refusal, schedule board, or public witness chain;
4. a later action can still assign a handler, proof, and cost to pay, convert, defer, breach, or harden the debt;
5. the aftershock has not already been discharged, converted, breached, or hardened.

This storyline must never trigger from a fixed numbered turn. It is entered from resolved-but-unpaid state.

Core route states

Route state	Meaning	Required consequence
aftershock_unreviewed	A prior resolution left relief and debt.	Offer review, breach risk, or silent hardening.
aftershock_under_review	Handler/proof/cost have been assigned.	At least two pressure surfaces move.
sponsor_aftershock_paused	Sponsor pressure is temporarily contained.	Contract capture, public distrust, fan resentment, or inspection debt rises.
public_aftershock_reconciled	Public receipt or fan refund makes the settlement legible.	Public/fan/audience improves while sponsor, archive, inspection, or drift pressure rises.
compliance_aftershock_reviewed	Inspector/archive accepts or converts the settlement into lawful proof.	Custody/fraud improves while heat, bureau debt, sponsor objection, or schedule cost rises.
editorial_aftershock_patch	Editor/black-box keeps the settlement legible.	Continuity improves while edit/archive/public/fraud debt rises.
aftershock_quarantined	Settlement is held as unsafe, plural, or not yet dischargeable.	Fraud/blackout risk improves while fan, public, sponsor, schedule, or route pressure rises.
aftershock_discharged	Debt is paid enough to stop recurring pressure.	Relief is durable; a visible resource/favor/scar remains spent.
settlement_aftershock_breached	Debt breaks into visible event pressure.	Breach event mutates counters, route access, or claimant hostility.
silent_debt_hardened	Debt becomes route law because the player ignored or hid it.	Recovery is harder or impossible without counterproof, appeal, or sacrifice.
false_settlement_owner	Wrong claimant owns the story of the settlement.	Later clean success becomes harder; public, sponsor, or archive correction is required.

Branch model

Branch A — Sponsor reconciliation

The player assigns Orion, Shen Luo, relief escrow, sponsor clause, naming right, or clean package to keep the prior settlement commercially alive.

Expected outcomes:

• aftershock_resolution = sponsor_aftershock_paused or converted_sponsor_reconciliation;
• sponsor_stop_loss_pressure -1 or slot pressure decreases;
• contract_capture +1 plus at least one of public distrust, fan resentment, inspection heat, archive debt, or route capture risk.

Branch B — Fan refund / public receipt

The player assigns Yu Lan, fan oxygen queue, public witness chain, refund pool, apology broadcast, or public receipt.

Expected outcomes:

• aftershock_resolution = public_aftershock_reconciled or fan_refund_ledger_open;
• public_receipt_legitimacy +1, fan_oxygen_balance +1, or audience_stability +1;
• sponsor pressure, inspection heat, archive debt, reality drift, or schedule cost rises.

Branch C — Inspector/archive compliance

The player assigns Han Yanshuang, Inspector Rhee, audit docket, archive seal, custody copy, quarantine authority, or lawful proof.

Expected outcomes:

• aftershock_resolution = compliance_aftershock_reviewed or audit_shield_converted;
• custody_clarity +1, archive_fraud -1, or reality_drift -1;
• inspection_heat +1, bureau_favor_debt +1, sponsor pressure, audience churn, or schedule cost rises.

Branch D — Editorial stabilization

The player assigns Baiya, cutroom ledger, checksum, black-box proof, source tape, redaction, or continuity patch.

Expected outcomes:

• aftershock_resolution = editorial_aftershock_patch or cutroom_debt_carried;
• continuity_hazard -1, audience_churn -1, or route legibility improves;
• edit_debt +1, archive_debt +1, public_receipt_distrust +1, future_fraud_cost +1, or reality drift rises.

Branch E — Quarantine, split, or carry-forward

The player proves the settlement cannot safely be discharged and must stay plural, unsafe, or delayed.

Expected outcomes:

• aftershock_resolution = aftershock_quarantined, aftershock_split_carry_forward, or equivalent;
• fraud, black-screen risk, false-owner pressure, or route collapse improves;
• fan resentment, public grief instability, sponsor pressure, schedule cost, or route asset pressure rises.

Branch F — Breach, hardening, or false owner

The player lacks a credible handler, lacks opposing proof, hides the ledger, spends the wrong cost, or lets a claimant narrate the settlement first.

Expected outcomes:

• aftershock_resolution = settlement_aftershock_breached, silent_debt_hardened, false_settlement_owner, or equivalent;
• 和解反震破口 or equivalent fires;
• at least one future route becomes blocked, hostile, captured, costlier, or recovery-only;
• at least three counters or durable states change.

Counter contract

Every resolution, breach, or hardening must change at least three counters or durable states. At least one must be visible relief and at least one must be visible cost.

Primary states:

• audience_stability
• audience_churn
• sponsor_stop_loss_pressure
• contract_capture
• inspection_heat
• bureau_favor_debt
• edit_debt
• archive_debt
• archive_fraud
• custody_clarity
• public_receipt_legitimacy
• public_receipt_distrust
• fan_oxygen_balance
• fan_oxygen_resentment
• reality_drift
• continuity_hazard
• black_screen_slots
• route_asset_pressure
• false_owner_hardened

Multi-session continuity expectation

This storyline is designed for durable replay validation. A correct implementation can load a settlement from an earlier replay and prove that a later review inherited the earlier relief and debt.

Expected evidence:

• source session id and seed that created the settlement;
• current review session id and seed;
• prior outcome state and source route asset;
• relief and debt carried by the ledger;
• live aftershock surfaces;
• assigned handler, opposing proof, and cost;
• selected branch;
• resulting counter deltas and future route effects.

Missability and recovery

The storyline is missable when the player treats settlement as clean, accepts sponsor quiet money without a public ledger, hides a fan debt, blocks inspector access, relies on editorial patching without source proof, or lets a claimant narrate the settlement before the ledger is reviewed.

Recovery is allowed only at higher cost:

• reopen the ledger with stronger opposing proof;
• publish public receipt and accept sponsor or inspection backlash;
• file compliance review and accept schedule or bureau debt;
• patch editorial continuity and accept archive/public distrust;
• quarantine the settlement and accept fan/public grief;
• sacrifice a route asset or favor to unwind false ownership.

Integration notes

• With 认领撞锁, this storyline begins after claimant priority, split, quarantine, capture, or false-owner states have left unresolved debt.
• With 播出实在漂移审计, this storyline keeps reconciliation costs alive after a drift patch or formal docket.
• With Audience Stability Floor Storyline, aftershock can explain why audience stability rises once and then cracks again if the public reason is unpaid.
• With Oxygen Claim Exchange Storyline, fan oxygen relief can become later public resentment if sponsor or archive debt is hidden.
• With Memorial Rights Contempt Storyline, memorial grief can stabilize the slot while leaving refusal, ownership, or public vigil debt.
• With Route Assets and Custody, the ledger itself may become a route asset, proof object, captured asset, or false-owner surface.

Non-goals

• Not a fixed-turn after-event.
• Not a generic epilogue.
• Not a dashboard governance concept.
• Not filler escalation.
• Not a clean universal settlement.
• Not a retcon of prior success; relief remains true, but debt remains playable.
