Overview
Justin appears in the archive only as a referenced absence—Spunky's former partner whose demand that she surrender custody of her son precipitated their breakup. He is not a direct participant in the archive's discourse but functions as a structural force in one guest's relational narrative.
⬡
Storylines
Justin enters the record through Spunky's account during the relationship-focused tarot panel in EP.411. His presence in the show is entirely mediated through her testimony, making him a shadowy figure defined by a single, consequential demand: the ultimatum regarding her son's custody. This demand functions as the pivot point of Spunky's story—the moment when irreconcilable values crystallized into separation. The nature of his reasoning, his psychological state, or his perspective on the split remains undocumented in the archive; what survives is only the fact of his request and its refusal.
⚡
Controversies
As discussed on stream: The archive records no direct statement or appearance from Justin that would allow assessment of his own account, motivations, or position. The controversy exists only in Spunky's framing of it as a dealbreaker—a test of loyalty that revealed incompatible life priorities. Whether Justin himself carried controversial views or whether this was simply a pragmatic incompatibility remains outside the archive's scope.

Key Relationships
Justin's only documented relationship in the archive is with Spunky. Their dynamic is captured in retrospect, as a failed partnership that hinged on the question of maternal custody and family structure. No other figures in the archive have mentioned or interacted with Justin.
