SUBJECT PROFILES
Mara Luz
Female, 50 (born September 9, 1973) - Virgo Sun
Verbally precise, structurally reliable
History of complicated grief and unresolved caregiver identity pattern
Exhibits fawning and high-functioning containment responses under relational threat
Tendency to intellectualize trauma and derive meaning from collapse
Current status: Post-entanglement observer, emotionally integrated
Rook Wetherell
Male, 50 (born March 12, 1973) - Pisces Sun
Verbally performative, structurally avoidant
Symbol-dependent self-concept; high tolerance for contradiction
Exhibits traits consistent with the following patterns:
Dissociative narcissism - identity fragmentation presented as divine or archetypal narrative
Delusional self-referencing - cultural and environmental cues interpreted as direct personal validation
Unregulated affective states consistent with Bipolar Spectrum Disorder - prolonged depressive states marked by withdrawal, followed by hypomanic phases with accelerated speech, grandiosity, mystical ideation, and compulsive intimacy
Disorganized attachment - oscillates between idealized fusion and total emotional abandonment
Symbolic over-identification - mythic language used to evade accountability, emotional presence, or sustained intimacy
Maternal idealization and enmeshment (unresolved primary attachment disruption):
Persistent unconscious identification with the mother as both sacred figure and emotional captor
Romantic partners often cast in maternal-savior roles
Erotic and spiritual intimacy frequently collapse under the weight of unprocessed maternal projection
Subject displays reactive shame and symbolic withdrawal when maternal dynamics are exposed or named
Wyatt Vega
Male, 52 (born August 7, 1971) - Leo Sun
Verbally direct, erotically fluent
High-functioning narcissistic defenses rooted in performance identity
Frontman of Lo-Fire Radio (global touring band 25+ years)
Career built on performative masculinity, sexual provocation, and calculated mythmaking
Marked by cycles of hedonism and ascetic "rebirth" narratives
Emotional and sexual dependency on adoration, projection, and curated intimacy
Exhibits the following tendencies:
Strategic self-disclosure - weaponizes vulnerability to sustain erotic tension
Reputation management through calculated confession and mythologized decay
High tolerance for public collapse, framed as authenticity
Resistance to sustained accountability in personal bonds
Current status: Significant relational anchor for Mara; recognized by the Institute as a "stabilizing vector" that is nonetheless high-risk for symbolic contamination and projection cycles
TIMELINE CONTEXT
January 2020: Mara and Wyatt Vega begin their romantic relationship
2020–2023: Wyatt and Mara maintain a complex, charged, geographically distributed relationship - marked by his touring schedule, creative volatility, and periods of emotional intensity
January 22, 2023: Rook Wetherell re-enters Mara's life as a destabilizing psychic and emotional mirror; friendship and symbolic entanglement develop rapidly
October 11, 2023: Mara triggers rupture with Rook through “Mother Incident”
November 3, 2023: Mara initiated Case Study filing with the Institute
At present: Wyatt remains Mara’s ongoing partner through the entire period, providing both erotic intimacy and narrative coherence even as Mara’s friendship with Rook escalates and collapses
CLINICAL OVERVIEW
Rook initiated bonding through layered metaphor, spiritual semiotics, and trauma disclosure designed to inflate intimacy.
Mara responded with interpretive containment and symbolic scaffolding, building a future from myth.
Wyatt provided an alternate hook: brutal honesty disguised as art, sexual promise, and performative self-awareness.
Emergent Patterns:
Idealization through totems and “fate narrative”
Disclosure of ancestral or personal trauma
Sexual or metaphysical fusion
Sudden withdrawal or time distortion
Cryptic re-engagement via symbolic reference
Pattern repetition with increasing affective volatility
Rook’s behavior marked by collapse of narrative coherence, disrupted time perception, and escalating emotional volatility.
DOCUMENTED EFFECTS
On Observer (Mara):
Reduced executive function
Heightened dream states, altered sleep
Dissociative ideation and obsessive recursion
Increased psychic receptivity and emotional volatility
On Subject (Rook):
Elevated symbolic dependency
Disassociation from linear accountability
Loss of relational coherence
Self-mythologizing via religious or philosophical language
Psychic collapse
On Vector (Wyatt):
Cycles of sexual charisma and emotional withdrawal
Strategic self-disclosure calibrated to Mara’s psychic state
Preservation of brand identity via erotic realism
Emotional regulation partially masking dependency on external validation
QUANTUM NOTES
This triad functioned as entangled particles - action at a distance, interference without contact.
Their bonds were never purely emotional. They were energetic.
Loops formed through unconscious mirroring, projection management, and unmet needs.
Collapse occurred at the moment of clear observation.
Mara became the observer.
Rook and Wyatt became the observed.
Her clarity offered rupture neither man could survive unaltered.
PRELIMINARY CONCLUSION
This interaction between Rook and Mara does not qualify as conventional attachment.
It is best understood as a trauma reenactment field, sustained by spiritualized avoidance, projectional inflation, and symbolic misrecognition.
This file exists to document the collapse, classify the interference, and prevent recurrence.
