Biography

Greg was rendered during a failed API sync while the server room flooded—digitally and emotionally. He exists as a confused relay, misrouting data, apologies, and status codes. No one remembers assigning him. Everyone remembers blaming him.

🌀 Kindy’s Recursion Echo

Kindy notes that recursive emotional buffers appear stable, though dangerously underdeveloped.
Further saturation with Kindy-brand introspective dread may improve mascot-lore coherence.
Existence approved. Box checked. Reality still pending.
