In this chapter, the legal proceedings against Adikor Huld continue with a focus on accessing the alibi archives related to Ponter Boddit's disappearance. Despite initial objections, the adjudicator permits the unlocking of Ponter's alibi archive from over 19 years ago, revealing a recorded interaction between a young Ponter and Adikor. The chapter explores the significance of historical alibi data and the emotional impact of revisiting past events through advanced archival technology.
