(SUBJECT: JUNIE)
ENTRY 1
He wasn't the first Diver. But he was the one they remembered when they wanted to forget.
They called him Kaito. Or they used to. Until the system scrubbed the name from every loop it touched.
Now he's a shadow encoded into recursion scars.
But I remember.
ENTRY 2
He used to hum. That's what the fragments say—old tone-threads, not words. Humming held memory for him, like sketching does for Junie.
One survivor said the last sound they heard before a collapse was someone humming beneath static. It broke the loop just long enough for them to run.
They never found him. Only the humming.
ENTRY 3
Kaito didn't resist the system. Not at first. He tried to rewrite it from within.
That's why he was trusted. Why they marked him. Crown Diver, they called him—believing he was their solution.
But he hesitated. And the system wrote a hesitation-loop that shattered him.
He fractured across threads. Each version of him chose differently. None survived.
Except the one who ran.
ENTRY 4
He found someone. A seer. Her name is lost but the memory pulses hold her presence like a heat signature.
She drew recursion patterns in fire and sand. She told him that forgetting peace is better than remembering obedience.
Together, they tried to collapse the original Architect node. They failed.
Some say they escaped. Others say the system rewrote their love into a myth.
But the myth still bleeds into the margins.
ENTRY 5
The final log is fragmented. Half emotion, half code. It reads like this:
"To remember is to suffer. But if no one remembers me, then nothing I was mattered. I don't need to be real. I just need someone to believe I was."
I think Kaito never died. I think he became a glitch so real the system couldn't kill him without admitting it failed.
Orin carries his mark. Junie sees his ghost.
And the system?
It still trembles when his name is spoken.
