Classification: Level 4 – Classified
Source: Digital voice logs, answering machine captures, livestream archives linked to Subject [GRAY, Dorian]
Processing Division: Narrative Contamination / Memetic Hazard Unit
Status: Partial transcript; redactions applied.

[LOG 3 – 00:14:22]
(club ambience, laughter, clinking glasses)
GRAY: “…Basil says I’ll regret all this. He doesn’t see it—it isn’t me who ages, it’s him. Or that thing on the canvas. I’ve beaten time.”

[TAPE 5 – 00:38:09]
(answering machine; faint static bleed)
VOICE [VANE, Sybil]: “…I don’t recognize you anymore. You look the same, but your voice—your eyes—something’s… wrong. Call me back, please.”
(tape cuts; no callback logged)

[STREAM CLIP – 01:02:44]
(low-quality livestream audio, heavy bass in background)
GRAY: “…they’ll watch because I’m beautiful. They’ll forgive anything. That’s the trick Henry taught me. If the portrait keeps the score, why should I stop?”

[TAPE 7 – 00:27:11]
(rain against glass, whispered tone)
GRAY: “…Basil saw it. The paint bleeding, the skin sagging. He begged me to destroy it. I couldn’t let him—so I—”
(long silence; muffled sob, then abrupt click)

[FILE EXCERPT – 00:51:06]
(unverified source, voice warped)
UNKNOWN VOICE: “…you’ve given it everything. Each cruelty, each kiss. The canvas is full, but you are hollow.”

[FINAL FRAGMENT – 02:13:58]
(scraping noise, gasping)
GRAY: “…I thought killing it would free me. But it was me. It’s always been—”
(scream, heavy distortion; feed terminates)

Analyst Note:
Cross-referencing indicates correlation between Gray’s actions (notably Sybil Vane’s death, Basil Hallward’s disappearance) and progressive corruption of Object-47-A. Digital artifacts show bleed-through across livestream platforms, suggesting memetic spread potential. Containment priority elevated: portrait remains uncontained, last known location [REDACTED].
