Damian found Cecelia in the file on a Friday afternoon.
Not because he was looking for her specifically. He was working through the institutional records systematically — the older files, the ones that predated Reeves's routing operation, the foundational documentation that Richard had built before the institution became something it wasn't supposed to be.
He'd asked for the complete archive three days after the conversation at the Walker residence.
Richard had sent everything.
Fifty-three files going back twenty-two years. The founding research. The early case documentation. The methodology notes from before Reeves joined the clinical team. The legal analysis Richard had commissioned from scholars who didn't know the full context of what they were analyzing.
The archive arrived on a Tuesday morning as a secure transfer — Sandra's system, properly encrypted, each file numbered in the order Richard had created them.
Damian had started with file one.
