Ronan exhales softly behind me. “You’re pushing it global.”
“Yes.”
No hesitation.
No doubt.
Every transaction.
Every hidden order.
Every life he reduced to a variable—
now exposed as exactly what it was.
Choice.
Intent.
Ownership.
“You don’t get to hide behind systems,” I say softly.

Intelligence networks.
Media endpoints.
Everywhere that matters.
Everywhere that counts.

Timestamped.
Verified.
Permanent.
“You don’t get to pretend this wasn’t you.”
I pause.
Just long enough for it to land.
For him to see the full shape of what he’s lost.
Control.
Anonymity.
Distance.
