Gate 08 · Starweave / discovery only

Elara

After choosing one road, Elara buries seven small path tokens and makes room to mourn the lives they will no longer become.

Identity evidence

ACV-018planned · not generated

Locked relation

Starweave · Perspective and transformation

A chooser who lets unrealized paths become absent; transformation expressed by consequence, not costume changes.

Discovery focus

Show the choice. Do not invent the canon.

Choice must read through one committed path and seven material absences—not multiverse clones, costume transformations, cosmic portals, or reversible spectacle.

Two governed studies

Identity first. Relationship second.

The solo plate tests whether behavior and silhouette can carry the Gate without costume shorthand. The dyad then tests reciprocal sovereignty with the bonded Godbeast. Neither study may become a public identity master while physical variables remain open.
