Where it sits in the story

Trans & Visible is a HankyCode Original — a word the 1970s code never had. In the left pocket, ink black says trans and politically visible; in the right, attracted to the visible. Written in 2026 on the same grammar the leather bars built, so a new identity can be worn the way the old ones were.
