timeline_event

pivotal · ?/20 Nov YDAU

  • When: ?/20 Nov YDAU (2009) — following the scene-176 grab
  • What: Steeply interviews Joelle about the Entertainment; the text gives only her answers (his questions redacted to Q., matching his n.234/n.269 transcripts). Among her testimony: what killed JOI was not the film but the sobriety he kept as a promise to her — "He'd stopped being drunk all the time. That killed him. He couldn't take it but he'd made a promise" (her firsthand version of event 27's bargain and event 38's guilt-theory).
