TRUTH::DISTORT started without warning. The system shifted from "established" to "compromised" in 6.2 hours. WORLD::SHATTER completed in exactly 3 days: accounts frozen, doors locked, phones silent. IDENTITY::ERASE was activated as a survival response. New name, new location, new account. Existence compressed. The subject learned to move through the phase, calculating each step to remain invisible.

It lasted 847 days. When TRUTH::SURFACE was finally executed, the subject's adaptation to darkness had reached its peak efficiency. System error: restoration of status failed to restore original identity. This phase reveals critical information: the subject emerged as neither victim nor victor, but as an empty field where someone used to be. Records show no for rebuilding what time erased.
