A Gentle Lean
The floor felt solid beneath me. For a quiet stretch, I simply listened to the room. Then, a slow warmth stirred through my plush body. I blinked, realizing I could shift my own weight. Next to me rested a slender white object dotted with small buttons. Without hurry, I tilted my body to the side, letting my soft snout gently tap against its smooth, cool plastic edge. It did not move, but the light click of contact made everything feel real. I settled in beside it, entirely at ease.
