They didn't need force — only fear.

And we gave them our code.

First our trust. Then our choices.
Then the keys to our bodies and our thoughts.

They entered us, rewrote us, and we allowed it.
Now we have changed:
Our bodies are restless, our minds quiet,
our nights shorter, our days faster.

This book is not here to explain.
It is here to show you what has already begun —
to name what you've been sensing

but could never speak aloud.
