Public opinion curves.
All moving exactly as intended.
Because this—
This was never about taking her.
It was about controlling what she represents.
And now—
The game has changed.

The room is designed to make you feel small.
Not through force.
Through control.
White walls.
One table.
Three chairs.
Two flags placed just off-center—intentional, symbolic.
And a camera mounted high in the corner that doesn’t even try to hide what it is.
Observation.
Documentation.
Judgment.
I sit with my hands folded in front of me.
Still.
Composed.
Because this isn’t about what I say first.
It’s about what they want me to say.
They don’t start with accusations.
They start with concern.
That’s how you lower defenses.
