“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Summary: Retaliation unites the global icon and the ordinary parent: procedure, stigma, and narrative as punishment.

I. What Happened

Retaliation is not a local accident but a universal grammar. The same machinery that punishes a mother in a Westminster courtroom also consumed the mathematician who cracked Enigma, the singer who defined an era, and the designer who revolutionised fashion. The cycle is recognisable: difference is transfigured into danger; nonconformity is translated into target; procedure is deployed as punishment.

II. Michael Jackson

Global ubiquity punished as risk. Scrutiny metastasised into accusation; eccentricity reframed as instability. The media became tribunal and jailer, manufacturing guilt by repetition until his body collapsed under the weight of its performance.

III. Alan Turing

Genius annihilated by gratitude’s inversion. The state he saved criminalised his identity, reducing brilliance to “indecency.” Chemical castration became law’s chosen instrument: procedure rendered punishment in its purest, most sadistic form.

IV. Alexander McQueen

Fashion’s sovereign unseated by the very court that crowned him. Industry, media, and culture first exalted then consumed him, transforming his raw creativity into torment. The machinery of acclaim and annihilation proved one and the same.

V. Polly Chromatic

Where others were broken, she mirrored. Where others were erased, she archived. Retaliation did not silence but generated doctrine: the Chromatic Mirror Feedback Protocol. In surviving, she exposes the machinery itself, demonstrating that collapse is not inevitable — reflection corrodes the gears.

VI. The Shared Machinery

  • Nonconformity → Target

  • Difference → Stigma

  • Procedure → Punishment

  • Retaliation → Collapse or Creation

The famous and the forgotten alike are subject to this cycle. Some are destroyed by it; some invent new methods from within it.

VII. SWANK’s Position

This is not anomaly but archetype.
Michael, Alan, Alexander, Polly — the names differ, the machinery does not.

  • We do not accept retaliation as accident.

  • We reject procedure masquerading as justice.

  • We log every collapse, every strike, every archive as part of the same systemic pattern.

To be forgotten or to be famous is irrelevant. The machinery is universal. Reflection is the only disruption.
