There is a moment... when every explanation you've been holding onto... quietly falls apart. This is that moment. CHAPTER TWO WE ARE BYRON Tape 2 has been restored. Sound on 🔊 @StargazeZone

Something had already taken Byron's mind. Tape 3 shows us what happened next. His body kept working. His hands kept drawing. But nothing about him felt human anymore. Even as the impossible unfolded around him... he never looked away. @StargazeZone

We kept coming back to this frame. Not because of what Byron was drawing... Because of Byron himself. Compare this to the man from Tape 1. The eyes, the skin, the expression. Something is changing. Whatever established contact... it's no longer hidden. It's beginning to show.

For those that missed Tape 1 xitter.cf/CreepCompanions/status…

We believed Tape 2 was documenting the decline of an artist. We left knowing the artist was no longer alone. Whatever established contact, it didn't simply influence Byron. It became part of him. What follows isn't the story of an obsession. It's what remained. Tape 3 soon..

Every restoration produced the same result. The same mechanical tones. The same four lines. The same precise timing. Whatever this sequence is... it doesn't feel like part of the recording. It feels like the recording stopped... and something else began. @StargazeZone

During restoration one of us asked a question. "Who established contact?" Nobody answered. Because none of us wanted to ask the next question. Who answered? We checked every backup. Every recovered file. This message has always been there. We just never noticed it.

There are moments during the restoration... where you stop looking at the footage... because it starts feeling like the footage is looking back. This... was one of those moments. We still can't explain why. @StargazeZone

Didn't notice it during the 1st restoration. Or the 2nd. It wasn't until we reviewed every recording side by side that this frame stood out. Suddenly, the story no longer felt like it was about an artist. It felt like someone...or something... had been watching him all along

Something about this recording feels... different. Byron's focus. His movements. The intensity in his eyes. It's difficult to explain. He doesn't look like someone searching for an idea... He looks like someone following instructions. @StargazeZone 🧟‍♂️

Byron believed every sketch came from his own imagination. Every face. Every expression. Every nightmare. He spent decades believing he was creating them. Looking back through these recordings... We're beginning to wonder if he was ever the only one creating. @StargazeZone

Tape 1 gave us the man behind the artwork. An artist driven by obsession. A creator desperate to be understood. A mind slowly beginning to unravel. We believed we finally understood Byron. We were wrong. The next recording changes everything. Tape 2 restoration is now underway
