Chapter 43

Justin is summoned to a tense Security interrogation led by Giraud, Denys, and Petros regarding a recent incident involving Ari, a child who apparently singled out a killer's replicate during a public event. The interrogation probes whether Justin or others cued Ari's behavior, with Justin vehemently denying any manipulation and expressing distrust of the tape evidence. Despite the pressure, the officials decide not to escalate the probe but insist Justin comply with counseling and maintain a cautious relationship with Ari, reflecting ongoing tensions and psychological stress related to past events and the Project.
