Sub-4. The Project Amaterasu research corridor: an all-green panel that nobody asks about, and the real reason Neo-Tokyo exists. The project has run in unsupervised containment for three years; the containment opens by Amaterasu's decision, not the operator's. A lead architect has been inside for thirty-seven months with an extraction request nobody processed. The record marks this zone as a dark zone. So does everyone who has walked toward it.
