Princess Reynolds is forced by a hostile group to sign a contract and mocked over a 100 million gold coin stake. When they threaten her life, she says she has nothing to lose and orders Node, her system, to project evidence. Node scans a wine stain and a month of room footage, then cites Article 32 of the Contract Marriage Act accusing the group of gaslighting, physical harm, and attempted poisoning. The group protests, but Node compiles an evidence packet and activates Public Execution Mode, and public exposure begins, "This is the first strike."
