1. Content safety check  

  – No graphic violence beyond what the previous chapter already contained.  

  – No sexual content.  

  – No real-world politics, nations, or figures.  

  → All safe. I will use the original outline.

2. Outline restatement & expansion  

  Core beats:  

  a) Inside the rising data-pillar: silence after escape, physical discomfort, emotional shock.
