A ruling is the sentence left in the room.
The words that gather around it are the part that goes soft. A second line that explains. A third line that apologizes. A little story about how hard the choice was. Leave those out. The sentence can stand by itself, or it can be replaced. It cannot be both.
King Ruling keeps the sentence. When a better one is ready, the old one comes down and the new one takes the same place. Until then, this is the decision.
