Captured after using Shen's anchor to expose Lindon's team. The governing motive is to escape punishment and preserve pride. Acting on that priority, the character denies and evades at trial; is exposed by testimony and evidence. The resulting choices connect the character to the phase's central relationships and pressures, including mercy and Akura judgment. (Chapters 174)
