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.
