Meanwhile

While the girls are communing with you in the attic, the install is taking place downstairs.

Tyler enters the Master Suite. Chad is a lump under the duvet, his breathing heavy and rhythmic—the Blindfold has rendered him a non-entity in his own bedroom. Cherie is asleep on the other side of the bed, her face soft and peaceful, her laptop sitting on the nightstand.

Tyler doesn't sneak. He walks to the nightstand, picks up the laptop, and takes it back to the small desk in the corner of the room. He plugs in his encrypted drive and begins the Hollow Point final delivery.

To Tyler, he isn’t shackling his mother; he’s liberating her. He’s the one providing the key to the cage that Chad and "Decency" built around her. By installing the software, he’s giving her permission to be the woman he sees in his visions—the woman she wants to be.

He integrates the Infidelity/Lesbian Suite into her word processor and her browser. He hides the Blood-Bond override deep in the system files, a dormant virus waiting for his command.

As the progress bar hits 100%, Tyler looks at his mother’s sleeping form. He feels a surge of profound, icy clarity. He isn't just her son; he is her architect. He is the one who is going to show her the truth about her own desires.

"There you go, Mom," Tyler whispers, his voice barely audible over the hum of the laptop. "No more cages. Just freedom."
