Blood of the past
Fred's proficiency and connection to the Butchers Blade cleaver has enabled him to see the traces that those who came to the area before him have left in their wake, those who have merely traveled through the area leave bloody traces, like footprints, hand-prints, etc, in the area while those who have died leave a much bigger trace in the area as large parts of their souls are left in the wake of their death, with them being represented by large pools of blood, as they seem to reach out to anyone nearby

CryptoLeak: Silence is Broken
CryptoLeak is a video streaming platform with a singular goal: to allow users to upload and share video content, no matter what. Videos uploaded to cryptoleak cannot be removed, doctored, or censored.
Despite a near-universal condemnation by world leaders, most people greatly appreciate CryptoLeak. It's the go-to platform for posting illuminations, whistleblowing evidence, and data leaks.
CryptoLeak is a mundane technlogical entity that cannot be controlled or destroyed. It has no backing business or organization. It utilizes a distributed architecture that allows it to host content across the entire world, sharding and mirroring its petabytes of data accross millions of personal devices. Content uploaded to CryptoLeak is immutable and cannot be doctored or redacted by any known means.
For once, technology has put the power in the hands of the little guys.
World governments and other powerful organizations can still censor or restrict access to CryptoLeak within their domains, and they sometimes utilize the platform for misinformation and psy-ops campaigns. However, for most people, CryptoLeak represents the freedom to speak and be heard.
Of course, simply uploading a video does not gaurentee it will be seen or gain traction, nor does it protect you from any consequences that may come along with pulling back the veil. . .

Tempus et iterum
Alan sets an hourglass up somewhere nearby, and for a few seconds seems to look around with snappy, jerking movements that almost don't pass through the intervening space as his head turns. After a few seconds, far too little time, it would seem, the sand is all drained to the bottom, and a haunted looking Alan, breathing more heavily and moving stiffly, collects his device.
What is witnessed from the outside is merely the overlapping moments early in each iteration. Alan has just lived out dozens, if not hundreds of days in a time loop, examining the area around him, watching the people and creatures moving through it, scrutinizing the energies flowing through it and emanating with in it. At the end of each loop, when the last grains of sand fall, he is pulled back to the same spot, to explore another sliver of the environment until his task is done. If pressed, he cannot recall any details of the events, which is likely for the better. After all, a nosy contractor on his own has probably gotten up to all sorts of dark troubles and met with more than a few grisly ends. He only knows what "they" allow him to keep, and it's better that way.
Yes. Much better that way.
