Repeat in Phoebe's mundane, repetitive, unfulfilling routine. She is still mediocre at playing the guitar, cooks food for her community, and speaks with her older male familial figure.

I return, showing Accordion and giving gifts. The decision to leave is fullfilled, Subject has agreed to accompany me on ethnographic survey. Rationale provided: "To preserve what humanity has left." She believes this is a noble endeavor. Her idealism is fascinating. Positive move, no direct suspicion or violence. We leave to GLBAI.
Crow now functions as mobile observational unit. Subject's emotional attachment to the bird presents optimal leverage point for deeper engagement.
