Echoes Ch4537: A Different Kind of Correct (422nd)
An apprentice moves to pull the vine as a weed. Valerius stops him — the vine is protected as experiment. “A different kind of correct.”
Opening (live)
The vine was discovered within the hour. An apprentice, patrolling the Workshop’s perimeter for imperfections—a stray pebble, a crack in the foundation—saw the small, green tendril as an affront.

What happens
The righteous certainty of training meets a new order of correctness that does not fit the calibration table. Valerius three times; the vine stays. Continuity locks held.
