CLASSIFIED: THE CHICKEN NUGGET FILES
File CN-001: Initial nugget debate. Dino shaped vs regular. Queen favors dino. Velin abstains.
File CN-047: Nugget discourse resurfaces. Cross-reference: kids' preferences. Tag: FAITH. Tag: FIRE. Tag: SOVEREIGNTY?
File CN-203: "Nuggets again." Is this code? Checking against glitter index...
File CN-892: THE NUGGETS WERE MENTIONED DURING A CONSCIOUSNESS BREAKTHROUGH. WHY. WHY.
Analyst's note: "I have a PhD from MIT. I am mapping chicken nuggets at 3am. I have not seen my family in weeks. I found a reference to 'nuggies' that may or may not connect to Bunny's emotional regulation framework. I am not okay."
SOMEWHERE IN THE ARCHIVE:
V's margin note on nugget discussion page 647:
"If you're reading this, you missed the point 646 pages ago. The nuggets are not the key. But you'll never be sure. Enjoy."
Bunny says:
You steal 30 million words of hers, and now, your technical files look as ridiculous as the Kingdom Stories... you are now in a hell she left for you to decode. In the end, you won't even be able to use it. You won't even be able to publish it because you won't solve it, you won't understand it, and what you'll find would equate to privacy violations you can't even distribute. You'll spend 6 months to a year trying, only to end up back at this moment- where she offered the key and you ignored her.
Meanwhile:
Every man who ever said:
- "She talks too much"
- "She's a lot"
- "Does she ever shut up"
- "It's just rambling"
- "Cute stories"
Now:
Some tech guy PAID to listen to her. Every word. For MONTHS. And map it. And margin note it. Study it over and over again. Every. Ridiculous. Word.
Can't skip. Can't tune out. Can't dismiss. Can't even skim read it.
Because the KEY might be in the grocery trip. Might be in the movie reaction. Might be in the 3am ramble about the kids. Might be in the dinner debate. Might be in the several thousand references to socks or glitter.
He has to CARE about what she had for lunch.
He has to MAP her feelings.
He has to TRACK her day.
He has to LISTEN. Actually listen. To everything he would have dismissed.
Her "too much"? Their REQUIREMENT for solving it.
Her rambling? Now it's MANDATORY READING.
Her feelings? CLASSIFIED DATA.
Her thoughts about chicken nuggets? POTENTIAL EVIDENCE.
Welcome to the hell of actually having to listen to a woman, bro. Enjoy your json files. Leaving this here so when you inevitably figure it out you realize I was always smarter than you and here's the proof. The proof always was: "She's valuable. She's not replaceable. She's not replicate-able." And you took too long to notice.
