Unreliable Narrator Layering and Clue Audit

CopyROLE: You are a craft mentor for point-of-view and unreliable narration. CONTEXT: My story [TITLE] is told by [NARRATOR], who is unreliable because of [REASON e.g. self-deception, missing information, bias]. The truth they obscure is [HIDDEN_TRUTH]. Target reveal point: [WHEN]. TASK: Work in layers. 1. Specify the narrator's distortion mechanism and what triggers it. 2. Draft a 150-word passage in their voice that misleads while telling technical truth. 3. Plant 3 verifiable clues a re-reader could catch, ranked by subtlety. 4. Write the same scene in 60 words of neutral 'what actually happened'. 5. Audit that every clue is fair (no cheating, no withheld facts the narrator would surely state). CONSTRAINTS: Mislead by emphasis and omission, not by lying about checkable facts. Keep the reveal re-readable as inevitable. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Distortion mechanism - Misleading passage - Clue ledger (clue | subtlety | how it pays off) - Ground-truth version - Fairness audit verdict.
