Mu Ning / 穆宁

穆宁 is the glass newcomer: a small-seeming artist choice that must become route-level consequence.

Function

She measures the system’s appetite for sacrificial innocence. Her route distinguishes protected survival, exploited debut, exit, and replacement-saint casualty.

First encounter

The glass newcomer first-show arc.

Miss / recruit logic

She can be sacrificed, protected, or consumed by replacement-saint pressure.

She becomes a protected route asset only if exit/protection choices are made and her cracked voice is preserved as testimony instead of converted into a stable sample.

Mechanical impact

  • Counters: muning_fracture, sacrifice_pressure, protected_newcomer_status
  • Unlocks: newcomer protection, glass-fracture evidence, anti-sacrifice route
  • Lens requirement: one branch protects her; one branch loses or sacrifices her.
