    "The '''October Realignment''' was the public return of █████ to cooperation with [[ZiZ]] in late October 2026 and the formation of a renewed strategic partnership between them. It consolidated [[Behind_The_Masks]] under dual command and sharply raised tensions with [[The_Big_3]], building directly toward [[Operation_Night_Fury]].^[realign-note]"
