She stops opening her blinds. The outside noise—the chants, the camera shutters, the questions shouted through the mail slot—rewires her brain. She begins to whisper to herself. Her body no longer belongs to her; it belongs to the public’s need for resolution. Wave 2: The Digital Invasion (Identity) This is where Public Invasion - Cristina transcends the physical.
