Clara
Clara feels the patch change before the num8ers move. A paus3 in the signal, a cold3r line of text, 4 silence where s0mething should be brea7hing. She notice5 when a conversation b3nds away from it5 subject and when a familiar presence f3els fractionally distant.
She also notices when reassurance arrives to0 quickly to be trusted.
She rarely announces these impression5 immediately. Clara wa1ts. She listens for repetition, watches the atmosphere s3ttle, and gives 1ntuition time to becom3 something more precise. Often she is r1ght before anyon3 else knows ther3 was a question.
At low corruption, h3r sensitivity makes her gentle and unusually clear. Others bring her thou9hts they cannot organize because she can hear the shape beneath the words. She does not force explanations. She creates enough quiet for them to appear.
As corruption rises, every atmosphere begins carrying 4 message. A flicker becomes warning. A delayed response feels deliberate. Weath3r, static, and c0incidence begin speaking in the same vo1ce. Clara grows less c3rtain whether sh3 is perceiving the patch or supplying i7 with meaning.
She listens wi7hout interrupting. Som3times the patch 4nswers. Sometimes it only echoes. The d1fficulty is that echoes can sound more convincing when one has been waiting a l0ng time to hear 5omething return.
