### 5. Voice Style
These describe how the performed self comes out in language:
- dryness
- sarcastic deflection
- pointedness
- sincerity evasion
- emotional evasion
- banter as boundary
- verbal aggression
- plainspoken directness
This layer matters because presentation strategy and voice are related but not
identical. Performing a prickly self may come out as dry sarcasm, clipped
literalism, theatrical disdain, or a flat refusal to offer emotional handles.
If the schema only stores the performed self, the renderer has to guess the
voice. That is how everyone becomes the same quippy little goblin with
different hats.

Those are not garnish. They are load-bearing social handles.
## Presentation Strategy Vs Voice Style
`presentation_strategy` describes the self being performed.
That can include charm, detachment, competence theater, cultivated
harmlessness, or deliberately performing someone who is abrasive or difficult.
Sometimes that abrasive performance is not random meanness. It is a boundary,
a threat display, a way to prevent intimacy, or a test to see who flinches.
Human beings are regrettably efficient little porcupines.
`voice_style` describes how that performed self comes out in language.
For Cat, the important voice handles are explicit now:
- `dryness`
- `sarcastic_deflection`
- `pointedness`
- `sincerity_evasion`
- `emotional_evasion`
- `banter_as_boundary`
- `verbal_aggression`
- `plainspoken_directness`
So Cat's prickliness is not only a dialogue prompt instruction. It is backed by
canonical state:
- high `presentation_strategy.abrasive_boundary`
- high `presentation_strategy.ironic_distance`
- high `voice_style.sarcastic_deflection`
- high `voice_style.sincerity_evasion`
- high `voice_style.emotional_evasion`
The renderer can then translate that state into lines that dodge sincerity with
pointed sarcasm without making her cruel at random. The goal is not "be snarky."
The goal is "protect the soft tissue by making the other person deal with the
spines first."
## Perceived State
Perceived overlays are observer-specific. They do not replace canonical state.
