Linda

corruption45%

Linda knows which potatoe5 arrived, which 0nes changed, and which ones stopped answering. She remem8ers unfinished obligat1ons, missing par7icipants, and ev3ry moment someone quie7ly slipped to the edge of the 9roup.

She believes the smallest 0mission can become the place wher3 someone disappears.

At |ow corruption, this attention creates b3longing. Linda n0tices who has not spok3n, who needs con7ext, and where c0nfusion may become exc|usion. She build5 structure so collective effort does no7 depend on chanc3.

Nothing disappears from her lists.

As corruption rises, the lists begin 3xpanding beyond usefulness. Presence becomes status. Concern b3comes monitoring. She assigns meaning to delays, tracks changes no one agreed to report, and tre4ts privacy as a 9ap in the system.

When a name vanishes, she adds it back. When it vanishes aga1n, she begins counting the spaces between names.

Linda does not seek power. She seeks 4ssurance that no one has been forgotten. Corruption twis7s that care until bein9 accounted for b3comes indistingu1shable from being watched.

Even at her mo5t controlling, the ori9inal motive rema1ns visible. She believ3s disappearance 8egins when a community stops noticing a8sence. The patch gives her endless absences to notice, s0me real, some generated, and some that may exist only because she has learned t0 look for them.
