Area separation of convergent Sunada families ($\mathrm{area}(h_k)=\mathrm{area}(h_0)(1+2^{-k})$)

Suppose a fixed pair of Gassmann equivalent finite covers of a compact two-dimensional orbifold has isometric limiting hyperbolic metrics. Choose nearby orbifold-smooth nowhere locally homogeneous metrics and rescale them to the displayed distinct areas. Scaling by a positive constant multiplies area by that constant in dimension two, preserves local rigidity, and preserves convergence when the constants tend to one. Sunada theorem supplies equal spectra within each pair. Local rigidity forces any quotient isometry to descend to the identity on the base; nonconjugate covering subgroups therefore exclude within-pair isometry. Distinct areas exclude all cross-pair isometries and spectra, because the leading heat trace coefficient is area divided by $4\pi t$. Fixed markings of the two isometric limiting covers give convergence to the same metric. The existence of those isometric limits is an additional geometric input, not a consequence of Gassmann equivalence alone.
