Bon Clay Cobra Impersonation Nanohana Attack Payoff
Status: confirmed (Ch. 172) · Technique: chekhov-explicit · prop-tell · face-library-operationalization
The seed (Ch. 156)
The payoff (Ch. 172 pp. 2-7)
Why this matters
This payoff sibling-links to the Ch. 171 Bon-Clay-walks-into-Nanohana set-piece — Ch. 171 was the masquerade-installation; Ch. 172 is the masquerade-aftermath where the city realizes (too late) that it was tricked. The Bon-Clay-as-Cobra play is operationally over but its consequences (rebel-mobilization, Royal-Army-war-march) are now structurally locked in.
