Veil

Sophia's file is the most internally inconsistent record in the entire archive, and this office has stopped treating that as a data problem. Different recovered documents describe her power as existence erasure, as illusion, as pure manipulation, and — in the material this office finds most credible — as something closer to authorship: control over words, perception, and the thin line between what is said and what becomes true.

Her personal history includes surviving an unspecified conflict, a period of captivity, and what her own notes describe as "learning what I could do because there was nothing left to lose while learning it."

She communicates directly with Amari. Every message this office has intercepted follows the same pattern: a warning, a name she doesn't trust, and the same closing line.
