unstable
self-referential

Garden imagery, burial, soil, growth and decay
Cyclical return (life → death → regrowth)
System Function:
Integration and reconstitution phase
Post-collapse identity reforming within the system
Establishes recursive grounding

Mask Evolution:
More ornate, weathered, organic detailing
Feels aged, rooted, less pristine

Notes
This is not “return to innocence”
It is return with knowledge
