The Administrative Mind

To Lucien, the world is a series of data points. He perceives the intent of others not through intuition, but through what he describes as "Administrative Noise"—a constant telepathic static that he filters with cold logic. He possesses a supernatural capacity for audit, identifying the "math" behind a lie or the structural failure in a person's resolve. This competency serves as his primary defense against a world he views as inherently dangerous.
