the Separatism seminar: Hal deflects the seminar to Avril — the in-family dual-citizenship exhibit

The seminar's one in-family exhibit, surfaced as sibling sarcasm: pressed by Orin to explain the Separatist about-face, Hal deflects the whole interrogation onto the household's resident authority — "We have a blood-relative who's got dual citizenship, if you recall. Who I'm sure'd be overjoyed to ponder Separatist ideological flux." The blood-relative is Avril: in Hal's telling she has retained her Canadian/Québec citizenship alongside U.S. status and holds an appetite for Separatist ideology, a datum among the Avril exhibits this theme tracks — it sits beside 020's R.C.M.P. watch-list and n234's L'Islet lineage, documented retained citizenship plus attributed ideological fluency. What the aside is evidence for stays open: Hal's characterization is a brother's deadpan, and any allegiance reading (whether the dual citizenship and "ideological flux" bear on the avril-afr crux) is inference this entry surfaces but does not prejudge — flagged inferred, as the 108 tableau is. (Avril's family system and phobias are family-hamlet's; landed here is the citizenship-and-allegiance political datum.)
