Era: The anomaly. The event horizon. Everything before bends toward it; everything after bends away.
Scream Clause Compliance: WAIVED (grief exemption, compassionate grounds). The Clause has a heart. It is small, but it is there.

FIELD REPORT, SUBJECT 6: "Subject interrupted book club with 'people forget that Cage has an Oscar.' The book was not about Cage. No book ever is. Subject does not consider this an obstacle."
