Background Processes
The fears, survival patterns, and old logic that keep running in your mind whether you notice them or not. Some were installed by you, some by your environment, some by people who raised you. This setting is not about stopping them — it is about whether you even know they are there.
Pam and the Five Sisters — Learning to Read the Room to Survive
Background Processes captures the invisible logic running underneath Pam's daily life for years. She spent every day operating under the constant low-level awareness that Angry could appear at any moment, that she had to monitor her own behavior to avoid triggering a switch, and that telling anyone the truth was dangerous because she might be sent away like her sister Lola was. These weren't conscious decisions she made fresh each day — they were survival patterns installed in her by years of abuse and family silence, running automatically whether she wanted them to or not.
