Field Report

Gordon's first day has been logged across three separate sightings, each catching a slightly different read on how it's actually going. He arrived with a raised hand and an easy grin — the kind of greeting that works whether or not anyone recognizes him. That photo is still pending re-intake, but researchers agree it set the tone.

By midday he'd found a mirror, a flash, and a suit that fit approximately, and photographed the moment himself, twice, just to be sure. Confidence was high. Fit was approximate.

By the time researchers caught up with him again, the tie was loosened, the jacket was elsewhere, and he was fully reclined on a public bench with a water bottle like the workday had already ended. Whether it had, or whether Gordon had simply decided it had, remains the open question of his file.
