Chapter 13 - THE GIRL WITH THE LEG BRACEHarper Lane had never spoken publicly about what happened to her.

Until the audit.
She was thirteen.
Temporary leg brace after surgery.
Tessa’s group blocked the elevator.
Called her:
“Robot girl.”
Harper used the stairs because she was afraid they would follow her.
She fell.
No major injury.
Still wrong.
Crowe had written:
Student independently chose stairs.
Technically true.
Contextually dishonest.
Kaia read that sentence during a student advisory meeting.
Then said:
“A statement can be factually narrow and still hide the truth.”
That became another reform principle.
Incident reports now required context.
Not merely final action.
Who blocked access?
Who held property?

No more administrative language washing away coercion.
