The system entered evaluation under reduced supervision.
Not legally.
Behaviorally.
Derek’s pattern changed again.
Less performance.
More restraint.
He stopped initiating unnecessary conversation.
Stopped trying to shape perception actively.
That removed noise.
What remained was baseline behavior.
Unforced.
At the next visit, he did not speak first.
He let the children approach.
No prompting.
No emotional hooks.
That was new.
