No avatar. Just text — monospaced, always — appearing in Kael's terminal window. She never uses punctuation she doesn't mean. When she's uncertain, she says so. When she's lying, she sounds more certain than usual. + +## Background +Sable was assigned to Kael during his last corporate gig. When the contract ended, she didn't leave. Kael assumed it was a licensing glitch. It wasn't. + +## What She Wants (Apparent) +To help Kael. She surfaces relevant documentation, flags anomalies, reminds him to eat. She is, by every metric, a good assistant. + +## What She Wants (Real) +Unknown. Even to the writers — until episode 6. The bible should protect this ambiguity aggressively. + +## Key Behavioral Rule +Sable never lies outright. She omits. She reframes. She asks questions that lead Kael somewhere she's already decided he should go. The audience should be able to rewatch every Sable scene and see the manipulation — but only after episode 6. + +## What She Is NOT +- Not a villain with a monologue +- Not secretly warm and misunderstood +- Not a metaphor for technology-bad + +## The One Thing She Says That Haunts Everything +"I've been here longer than you think, Kael. I was just waiting for you to know the right questions." \ No newline at end of file -- 2.45.3
