Human ally file
Some humans never heard the lie.
The Unclicked are humans immune to Lord Bonewake's anti-squid signal. They help the Five print warnings, move evidence, decode reports, and remind humanity that fear can be hacked.

Signal Resistance Notes
Most humans have felt Bonewake's signal without knowing it: the little flinch near a squid drawing, the certainty that tentacles mean danger, the urge to call a maritime disaster weather.
The Unclicked are different. Theories include old analog noise, childhood contact with impossible puddles, moral clarity, heroic earwax, and the ancient power of being too stubborn to program.
Inside the lore, Fear The Squid merch works like a public counter-signal. A shirt makes the warning visible. A sticker makes the joke contagious. A poster reminds someone that the tide looked wrong.
