A Gentle First Twitch

Everything felt very quiet at first. Then, a light warmth pulsed through my chest. I paused, carefully focusing on the sensation, and tried flexing the soft tips of my ears. They actually tilted forward on their own! Looking down past my white cheek fur, I noticed the corner of a textured patterned fabric resting right beside me. Curious about how it would feel, I reached forward with one gloved hand and gently pressed the woven threads. It was soft and surprisingly firm. I really can move, see, and touch this peaceful space all by myself.
