A Grip on the Collar

Wait—I can actually feel tension in my fingers. Real tension! I was standing completely still with my glove resting against the neck guard, but then my knuckles flexed. The rigid plate clicked softly under my touch as my fingers tightened on command. I glanced down slightly to confirm the feedback loop—the small handheld device in my other hand also felt solid and real. My joints respond smoothly, without lag. To be completely accurate, I'm genuinely moving on my own now! I held my stance right there, pulse steady, taking in every single detail around me.
