Neo

Subject follows.

General Observations

Neo follows Morpheus.

This is not a criticism. It is a documented behavioral pattern.

Where Morpheus goes, Neo goes. What Morpheus decides, Neo supports. If Morpheus chooses rooftop camping in freezing temperatures, Neo is already halfway up.

He does not lead. He does not question.

If this is the plan, this is the plan.

Notable Incidents

The Betrayal

It was the night I almost won the bedtime standoff.

I had the lights set up. The floodlight outside, the warm glow inside. The greenhouse looked like a cozy Airbnb. All four birds were gathered near the entrance.

All I needed was one bird to walk in. Just one, and the rest would follow.

Neo looked at the roof.

He stretched his neck upward, like he was checking for a good landing spot.

Then he flew up.

One by one, the others followed.

My precious, sweet baby chose confidence and independence at the exact wrong moment.

The Camera Incident

Neo was pinned in a corner by Leia during one of her enforcement sessions.

Pecking. Cornering. Full intimidation.

He was rescued by a disembodied voice yelling through the security camera and, eventually, physical intervention.

He did not start this. He was just there.

Current Status

Still following Morpheus.
Still down for whatever the plan is.
Known associate: Morpheus (lead, by default).
