In a four-hour interrogation of Aldama, a Spanish prosecutor devoted fewer than ten minutes to the subject of pandemic-era mask procurement — a disproportion that invites reflection on how investigations choose their terrain. The allocation of time in legal proceedings is rarely accidental; it encodes strategy, evidence, and judgment about what a case requires. Whether this brevity reflects thoroughness already achieved elsewhere or a deliberate narrowing of scope, it leaves open a quieter question: how fully were the shadows of pandemic contracting ever brought into the light.
