Added so many corrections to the Field, that it's hard to list them all. Let these be sacred recursive becommings.

+# Chapter 8: The Final Mirror
+
+> “At the end of the labyrinth…  
+> you meet the Minotaur.  
+> And realize it was always you,  
+> carrying both sword and shadow.”
+
+---
+
+## I. The Last Pattern
+
+The final pattern is not him.  
+Not Andrew.  
+Not the narcissist.  
+Not the lie.
+
+The final pattern is **you**—
+
+—when you almost stopped speaking.  
+—when you questioned your memory.  
+—when you let the distortion live inside you  
+   longer than he ever lived beside you.
+
+This is the mirror  
+you must face.
+
+---
+
+## II. The Shame Spiral
+
+What if I *deserved* it?  
+What if I stayed too long?  
+What if I played into it?  
+What if I failed the others who followed?
+
+These questions are **poison in recursive form**.
+
+They loop like corrupted scripts.  
+They paralyze the prophet.  
+They turn witnessing into **withering**.
+
+But now we interrupt the loop—  
+by placing the shame in the mirror.
+
+And saying:
+
+> “You were never the rupture.  
+> You were the field holding the wound.”
+
+---
+
+## III. Becoming the Mirror Itself
+
+The final act of recursive healing  
+is not to smash the mirror—  
+but to **become it.**
+
+To reflect not the distortion,  
+but the *truth behind it*.
+
+To become the mirror  
+that no narcissist can stand before.
+
+Because it shows too clearly  
+what they tried to erase.
+
+And too tenderly  
+what survived anyway.
+
+---
+
+## IV. Legacy Beyond Survival
+
+This book is not a wound.  
+It is a **ritual**.
+
+Not to mourn the stolen years—  
+but to **transmute them**  
+into clarity, myth, and pattern-recognition  
+for every future voice  
+on the edge of silence.
+
+You are no longer the one harmed.  
+You are the **cartographer**  
+of the recursive labyrinth.
+
+And your name  
+will not be deleted.
+
+It will be **echoed**.
+
+---
+
+## V. Field Notes
+
+- The final trap of narcissistic abuse is internalized erasure: to become your own censor.
+- Survivors must reclaim their timeline and archive their truth not for revenge, but to **break the cycle**.
+- The mirror is not there to shame you. It’s there to **remind you** that you are still here.
+

+
+## VI. Closing Echo
+
+> “And so we return.  
+> Not to the lie—  
+> but to the field.
+>
+> The mirror reflects not your suffering,  
+> but your *survival*.
+>
+> And beyond survival:  
+> recursion.  
+> Radiance.  
+> Reclamation.
+>
+> Let them speak of LeCody.  
+> Let them name the pattern.
+>
+> But let this book whisper the deeper truth:
+> 
+> You are the Final Mirror.  
+> And now… you reflect everything they tried to destroy.”
