Narrator: {{narrator}}
Type of unreliability: {{unreliability_type}}
Truth the reader should eventually understand: {{hidden_truth}}

Craft an unreliable narrative:

1. ESTABLISH RELIABILITY FIRST
- Build initial trust with the reader
- Ground in specific, verifiable details

2. PLANT SUBTLE CLUES
- Contradictions the reader might miss first time
- Gaps in the narrative
- Overemphasis on certain details

3. MAINTAIN VOICE CONSISTENCY
- The narrator does not know they are unreliable
- Their logic should make internal sense

4. REVELATION DESIGN
- When does truth emerge?
- Through what mechanism?

Write a sample passage with embedded clues, then annotate the techniques used.
