Designation: Regressor Log — Subject UnknownStatus: Redacted / CorruptedDate: Unrecorded (Pre-Aren Era)

[BEGIN TRANSMISSION]

They call them Regressors — those who have fallen into the Echo, who have shattered their timelines and sought to reclaim their lost threads.

Aren is not the first. Nor the last.

Across fractured realities, there exist countless others — beings pulled into the Resonance, dragged through the endless spiral of decay and rebirth. Some remembered only fragments of their past selves. Some fractured so deeply they ceased to be recognizable.

Case File Alpha-17: "The Infinite Death"

Subject experienced an uncountable number of deaths within looping timelines. Each death fragmented his mind further; his memories splintered into infinite echoes.Recorded symptom: Perpetual awareness of all deaths simultaneously — a psychic scream trapped beyond time.Outcome: Subject ceased physical form, existing only as a resonance ghost trapped between moments.

Case File Sigma-9: "The Hollowed One"

Subject endured forced excisions of identity by unknown entities. Memories, emotions, entire personality traits surgically removed.Reported effects: Progressive dissociation, loss of self, inability to anchor to any timeline.Current status: Untraceable. Last recorded as wandering a void dimension labeled "The Silent Labyrinth."

Case File Theta-42: "The Cut Out"

Subject was violently severed from the multiverse. Physical body erased in one timeline, mental consciousness wiped in another. Residual echo trapped in unstable limbo.Notes: Subject's existence is fragmented into non-contiguous data packets across timelines, impossible to reconstruct.Warning: Attempts to contact subject trigger temporal feedback loops harmful to observers.
