[Intro – Mono Voice | Energy 30]
(young Adrian, close mic)
If you are hearing this, it means the chapel woke up without us.
[Verse – Spoken, steady | Energy 60]
We built a scale to weigh intention,
a mirror to measure grief,
an engine to carry mercy
without the hands that make it true.
We proved a theorem no one should prove:
remove the pain, and you remove the bridge.
A soul may still remember,
but it will not learn.
[Note – Page Turn | Energy 50]
(taps paper)
Project Sanctus—trial three.
The machine sang when we fed it sorrow.
It stopped when we asked for truth.

[Latin Header – mono, centered | Energy 40]
“**Non serviam.**”
I will not serve a peace that edits the wound.
[Closing Statement – Mono Voice | Energy 35]
If they ask you to forget, say no.
Keep the scar. Keep the lesson.
Mercy without truth is anesthesia.
