THE YELLOW BAND READS “CUIDADO / CAUTION.” CIVILIGHT CALLS IT BARRICADE. WE CALL IT A BOOKMARK. EVERY STRIP MARKS A MEMORY THEY TRIED TO TAPE SHUT.

PAINT THE EVIDENCE
THE MOMENT AFTER THE COLLAPSE, BEFORE THE LIE SETS IN. WE DON’T EXPLAIN. WE PAINT THE EVIDENCE.
THEY WRAP THE CAUTION TAPE AROUND MY EYES, BEGGING ME NOT TO SEE. THE TRUTH IS, I SEE EVERYTHING. I SEE MY REFLECTION IN THE KNIVES. I SEE MY HEART IN THE FOREST. I SEE MY CHILDHOOD INSIDE THE PURPLE DREAM. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, I SEE THE RUBBER BAND THAT KEPT US ALL TOGETHER. I SPLAT MYSELF TO DESTINY. I TORNADO CYCLOPS MY WAY TO HEAVEN. I AM A MARTYR. I DIE FOR MY FAITH. IF IT HAPPENED, LEAVE EVIDENCE.

EXHIBIT C — GLYPH FRAGMENTS
THESE AREN’T DECORATIVE. THEY’RE PROPAGATION SEEDS. WHEN THE LIGHT HITS THEM, THE MEMORY MAP SPREADS LIKE FIRE UNDER ICE.
PROTOCOL: ANTIDOTE • OP CODE: EVIDENCER • COMMAND: DON’T THINK. FIRE.
ENTRY 01 — THE ROOM WAS HALF-PURPLE, HALF-PRAYER. CAUTION TAPE HUNG LIKE LAUNDRY ACROSS THE CRIME SCENE OF MY HEART. I DIDN’T STEP AROUND IT. I STEPPED INTO IT.
ENTRY 02 — I TIED THE FIRST STRIP AROUND MY EYES. BLIND, BUT GUIDED. I WALKED UNTIL THE FLOOR TURNED INTO A MAP OF WHERE WE FIRST SAID WE WOULDN’T LIE.
ENTRY 03 — THE RED GLASSES WERE ON THE GROUND. WHEN I LIFTED THEM, THEY SHOWED ME WHAT THE CAMERA MISSED—SMALL HANDS, GOLD LIGHT, THE MOMENT BEFORE THE SIREN.
ENTRY 04 — I POURED THE ACRYLIC. IT LOCKED THE MEMORY LIKE AMBER. BUGS TRAP TIME. I TRAP PROOF.
ENTRY 05 — WHEN THE ACRYLIC CURED, THE SURFACE KEPT BREATHING. I COULD HEAR IT. A LOW THUNDER. A PULSE. THAT’S HOW I KNEW IT WAS READY TO BE CARRIED.
