ELDER THANE'S POV
(INVESTIGATION RESULTS)
The evidence compiled by the marked students proved far more comprehensive than I had anticipated when ordering Marcus's suspension from observation duties. They had documented every mechanical failure with precise timestamps showing patterns that could not be coincidental, recorded assessment sessions that revealed psychological manipulation techniques designed to induce stress rather than evaluate stability, and provided testimony from multiple witnesses corroborating environmental interference that constituted torture rather than legitimate monitoring.
The documentation was methodical and professionally presented, demonstrating exactly the kind of rational, organized thinking that contradicted Council narratives about marked wolves being inherently unstable and unable to distinguish reality from corruption-influenced perception.
