This feels like something caught between two versions of itself — half preserved, half retracted.
Not a glitch, not decay, but an interruption that never got repaired. As if memory tried to rebuild her and stopped midway.
She’s there — unmistakably — but not all at once. More like a presence flickering through layers of forgetting.
The damage isn’t violent. It’s slow, archival. A quiet undoing that started long before anyone noticed.
