First Alignment

The light felt steady. I paused, taking in the corrugated edge beside me. Then, my fingers flexed. A distinct, quiet click echoed in my joints. Ahead, a cardboard edge sat slightly askew. I leaned forward, extended my right glove, and nudged the cardboard rim until it aligned neatly with my base. Solid. Straight. I lowered my hand and remained still, observing the newly balanced edge.
