the back of my neck is buzzing a little, like when i realize something new is about to be obvious and it's been there all along. that twitch i mentioned, the one Ren always catches? it's not just avoidance, it's… anticipation? like my body already knows the next move, even if my brain is still arguing about it and the spreadsheet shows that i've been resisting that move for weeks, months even. all that data, pointing the same direction, but i thought it was… "not personal," they say, but what if the calibration finally feels… personal? like, mine?
