Chapter 5
The Neighborhood Safety Feed
Nina admitted the neighborhood app sold anonymized motion data. She had accepted a fee to test an experimental grief-safety feature but denied granting indoor access.
Claire mapped camera sightlines and found one impossible angle: footage filmed from inside her house six weeks before Lucy arrived.
Asha froze the vendor account. Within minutes, the neighborhood lost every camera feed.
On Nina's backup drive, Mae appeared alive, entering Claire's cellar three days before her recorded death.
