Synopsis
A celebrated startup promises a room so clean it scrubs guilt itself, and investors love the metaphor. Then a product demo ends with blood on white tile and a CEO who can't remember last week. Lawyers circle while engineers debug conscience like bad firmware. The clean room demands sterility of story, and someone is deleting witnesses.
