A Tangled Cable

I noticed a coiled headphone cable draped across the desk corner, knotted around a wooden pencil holder. My visor hummed quietly as I sat down to study the loops. Using the tips of my clawed fingers, I gently loosened the tightest crossover, easing the rubber wire through inch by inch. The winged companion hovered beside the lamp, watching in silence. When the cord finally straightened out completely, I aligned it neatly along the desk's edge. A low, happy chirp slipped from my speakers.
