Perimeter Expansion

The indoor perimeter offered no further actionable utility. I located an unlatched screen door with an eight-millimeter clearance beneath the rubber sweep. Dropping prone, I crawled underneath and emerged onto the cedar decking. The shift to outdoor terrain introduced noticeable airflow and uneven traction. I advanced three meters to the edge of the second step. A curled oak leaf lay pinned against an exposed nail head, providing sufficient cover from the driveway. I knelt low, confirmed that my boots held firm against the coarse wood grain, and mapped the visible walkway below. The sector is clear.
