Unseen Hand

The unseen hand is the physical extension of a lurking antagonist lurking beyond Tegan’s immediate field of vision, drawn to small targets of opportunity. This stealthy presence moves through transitional spaces like doorways and corridors, choosing moments when attention is divided to assert control by seizing belongings rather than revealing itself outright. Though only a hand and arm are ever visible, its single observed action—snatched handbag—carries a tone of casual menace, suggesting surveillance and opportunism rather than direct confrontation. The identity remains masked, its motives opaque, but its timing implies coordination with broader threats already encroaching on the stable yard.
