The Clinic Calls It Grief
Property records showed Shaw's foundation owned Claire's house twenty years earlier and used it for residential experiments.
Shaw denied surveillance and called the hidden corridor an artifact of old care.
Asha found payments routed through grief-support grants. Each payment increased after a patient reported doubting her own memory.
Claire turned the financial pattern into a floor plan: every paid event corresponded to a room modification.
The next scheduled modification was marked OCCUPANT REMOVAL.
