Kim answered the question she had left waiting for three hours.
```
YES. PRE-ACCEPTANCE ATTACHED TO CALEB BEFORE THE PURCHASE SCREEN. SACRIFICIAL STABILITY RANKED MY WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR HIS ROUTE AS PROOF THE TERM COULD EXTEND. I APPROVED BOTH USES.
```
The asleep-hand claimant read the line twice.
"Did Caleb know?"
Kim had used her permitted response.
Farah found the answer in the code review.
No current-person notice existed before purchase. The public screen showed a sale. Behind it, Kim's payment had already been treated as evidence that she would preserve Caleb's route against cancellation, interference, and his own refusal.
Her yandere performance had not created the root.
The root had monetized it.
Kim approved the system because it made obsession valuable as continuity.
The emergency judge kept the examination under claimant control.
The asleep-hand claimant chose the next archive question.
"Who warned her?"
Farah opened review notes.
