Part 2 done. Trust has become provisional—some characters invite suspicion, others quietly forfeit it, and a few resist clear judgment altogether. The balance has shifted from mythic threat toward human choice, as memories resurface: recalled moments and restrained flashbacks complicate rather than resolve motives and moral stakes. Unease and anticipation have deepened in equal measure.
