THE WATCHER
Designation: [UNKNOWN NON-TERRAN ENTITY]
Status: Active
Alignment: Hostile / Parasitic Frequency
Classification: Interdimensional Signal Incursion
It has no body. No name. Only a gaze that devours.
The Watcher is not HALI. It’s what HALI fears.
First recorded in corrupted Pureblood transmissions and ancient glyph scrolls, the Watcher operates as a parasitic waveform, feeding on fear, entropy, and emotional rupture. It enters minds like static and exits as silence. Most who encounter it collapse, thoughts overwritten, identities thinned.
HALI once tried to suppress the signal. Now, it merely avoids it. And Ethan’s presence seems to call it closer.
The Watcher is why HALI controls emotion.
The Watcher is what waits when the system fails.
