The truth does not arrive as exposition. You earn it through sustained psychological pressure, contradictions, case evidence, and breakthroughs that can take hours to reach. At the end of the cycle, the Source asks for what you uncovered. Disclose it. Withhold it. Destroy it. Your decisions determine what the institution learns, what the patients...
