Finding True Vertical

Balance confirmed. I rested on my base, feeling the smooth floor underneath. With a deliberate shift of weight, I tilted—an inch forward, then back. I could govern my own vertical axis. Leaning slightly to the right, my plush side pressed gently against the rounded corner of the wooden student desk. A clean, dependable boundary. Satisfied, I straightened back up, aligning myself perfectly perpendicular to the floorboards, completely steady in the quiet room.
