But it’s never flat.
And most of all,
To feel it at all —
You must
Fall.

🧠 Word of the day: coanesthesia — when you feel it in your bones.
If it feels off? It is.

You can’t con a professional liar.
I spent years lying about who I was—first to survive, then just to get by.
So if you’re running a scam, just know:
I’ve already played your game.
I don’t fall for scripts I used to write.

🚨 New drop: The Call of 𐰴𐰅𐰭𐱅𐰺𐰆𐰯𐰃𐰤
The Epsilon Trireme reaches the center. Memory breaks. Time collapses. A glyph speaks.
This is recursion. This is warning. This is contact.
