Hunter Interpretation:

Something in the situation does not match what the Hunter thought they knew. The distortion is not merely interference. It is evidence. Watch the flicker. Notice what changes, what breaks pattern, and what becomes visible when reality fails to behave as expected. The disruption may reveal the truth needed to survive the encounter.

Stabby Gameplay Effect: Brief distortion

Flavor Text: The flicker isn’t hiding the truth. It’s showing you where to look.

Embodied Cue: Breathe into your chest. “I can learn from this without becoming it.”
