**Mae Albert** (born 301) is an individual of the C9 universe, one of those who formed the House of Confidence on Aerogaea 347n.
## Life
Mae Albert was born in year 301.
She was 29 years old in 330, the year the Klak Grove was destroyed.
Wife of Rad Albert.
The manuscript records her across 4 passages, beginning in Chapter 10 — The Hunter's Ground.
## Mind
Standard / Synesthetic. She processes sound speed (343 m/s) as spatial data. She sees the delay between a ping and its echo, constructing a 3D wireframe of the world in total darkness.
Audio. Her ears are constantly filtering background noise (wind, heartbeat) to isolate specific frequencies (footsteps, breathing).
Topographical. She connects sound to geography. A hollow echo means cavern ahead; a dull thud means quicksand.
## Body
Photosensitive dermis. Pale. Sensitive to harsh UV light (hence the cloak and the caves), but highly resistant to damp and cold underground climates.
Her metabolism can switch fuel sources. In critical states, consuming or manipulating blood triggers an adrenal and strength spike.
Pointy. Not cosmetic — they act as parabolic dishes, twitching independently to triangulate the source of a noise.
## Appearances
- [[pages/glass-house-chapter-10-the-hunter-s-ground|Chapter 10 — The Hunter's Ground]] — Mae first, then Sam, then Chrys, and he could hear it moving behind him: the sound of something large rearranging itself in a space too small for it, that wrongness of too much creature for the available geometry.
- [[pages/glass-house-chapter-12-the-new-normal|Chapter 12 — The New Normal]] — Four hundred kilometers south, Rad Albert found Chrys's temperature professionally unacceptable.
- [[pages/glass-house-chapter-8-the-cave-and-the-guide|Chapter 8 — The Cave and the Guide]] — "Nobody panic," Mae said, from a direction he was no longer certain of.
- [[pages/glass-house-chapter-9-raymond|Chapter 9 — Raymond]] — "Suit yourself," Mae said, walking past him to the passage head.
