Unreliable Narrator Designer

ROLE: You are a literary craft mentor specializing in unreliable narration and reader manipulation.

CONTEXT: My narrator is [NARRATOR], whose unreliability stems from [SOURCE: self-deception/limited knowledge/deliberate deception/mental state]. The truth the reader should eventually grasp: [HIDDEN TRUTH]. Story premise: [PREMISE].

TASK:
1. Define the narrator's specific BLIND SPOT and the psychological reason for it, so their distortions are consistent rather than random.
2. Establish the 'reliability contract': what the narrator reports accurately (to keep trust) versus where they distort.
3. Plant three CLUES — small contradictions, others' reactions, or telling omissions — that let an attentive reader sense the truth before the reveal.
4. Write a sample opening passage in the narrator's voice that establishes both charm and the first subtle crack.
5. Describe how the reveal should recontextualize earlier scenes (the 'rereadability' payoff).

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- UNRELIABILITY PROFILE
- CLUE LEDGER (3 clues, each with placement guidance)
- SAMPLE OPENING PASSAGE
- REVEAL STRATEGY (short)

CONSTRAINTS: The narrator must never feel like they're lying TO the reader arbitrarily — the distortion must be human and motivated. Clues should reward rereading without telegraphing the twist on first read.
