Why this matters
The paper-record-vs-lived-truth gap becomes Bell-mère’s structural opening for survival-via-denial — and her refusal to take that opening is the chapter’s emotional climax. Forward-pattern: records-as-power doctrine recurs across the series (Ohara’s books, the Poneglyphs, Robin’s bounty, the Vegapunk archive). The Ch. 78 install is one of the earliest deployments of the who-controls-the-records-controls-the-truth doctrine.
