Chapter 10 – V1RV$
This is the inversion.
You realize you were never trapped inside the thing consuming you. You are composed of the same decay.
Rage stabilizes into fuel. Numbness reveals itself as operational clarity. What once felt like damage resolves into correct function within a broken system.
You stop asking why the world is sick. You recognize yourself as a symptom that adapted perfectly.
You are not being eaten. You are one of the teeth.
The screaming ends here, not because peace arrives, but because certainty replaces confusion.
