Where does the violet code come from?

In Transition is a HankyCode Original — a word the 1970s code never had. In the left pocket, violet says transition-focused identity; in the right, drawn to others transitioning. Written in 2026 on the same grammar the leather bars built, so a new identity can be worn the way the old ones were.
