According to documents provided by the General Investigation Bureau, most ordinary Pseudo-Humans developed as follows:
1. "Disguise":
From the moment the Mind Corner formed, they maintained their original persona and lifestyle while normally undergoing psychological evaluations from Human Society.
The more natural the disguise process, the more humans they could deceive and the more recognition they could gain from the Corner.
2. "Desire Release":
From the moment the Mind Corner emerged, the individual heard Corner's Whisper every day. This whisper stirred up their suppressed desires and obsessions, continuously amplifying them over time.
This included, but was not limited to, violent fighting, exposure, theft, and even murder.
As long as they maintained their disguise, the greater the extent to which they indulged their desires and the greater their impact, the more recognition they could gain from the Corner.
There were also a few exceptional individuals for whom merely maintaining a disguise already counted as releasing their desires. Some could even remain unaffected by the whispers, perceive the Corner in their own way, and instead exert reverse control over the Mind Corner.
Once they maintained an outwardly normal disguise and privately released their desires for over a year, the Pseudo-Human would be approaching or had reached maturity.
Mature Pseudo-Humans possessed the following characteristics:
1. "Perfected Phobia-concretization": They could undergo full-body transformations, taking on the most perfect fearsome form recognized by the brain and within the body's limits of endurance.
2. "Flesh-and-Blood Corner": The once intangible Mind Corner could visibly manifest on the surface of the pituitary gland,* or even across the entire face. Through this, they could influence the area most familiar to them and create a Corner Space.
Mature pituitary glands were highly valuable.
3. "Qualification": When the time was right, the individual would receive a special notification from the Corner and obtain official qualification to travel to the Corner through ████.
