<aside>

Withdrawal is not always abandonment. Sometimes it is precision. Sometimes it is the only way to care without breaking.

The figure remains in the room, but command no longer runs through the veins.

Only minimal vigilance remains: the kind that records without intervening, the kind that takes note while the system erases.

The ghost shift does not direct. But it leaves a record.
