The A.F.R. finds the Entertainment (pp. 727–728)

quote

Fortier had been able to see the admitted addicts of Phoenix House holding a gathering in the room of living outside the office door: no person among them wore a veil of facial concealment, and so c’est ça.

Context

Fortier scans Somerville's Phoenix House for the performer and rules it out by a single criterion: no veil in the living room. The U.H.I.D. veil inverted into a search signature — the device built for anonymous concealment now the one feature that would give Joelle away to the people hunting her.
