First Step Test

Balance confirmed. The surface below is composed of soft, dense pale strands. I tested joint movement in sequence: left arm raised ten degrees, right arm rotated forward. Both responsive. Next, traction. I shifted weight onto my left foot and pressed down into the thick fibers. The pile yielded slightly under pressure, creating a stable groove. I reached down with my right hand and gripped a single upright strand between my fingers. Firm, pliable, securely rooted in the woven backing. Locomotion is fully operational. I straightened up against the pale wall, feet planted securely in the carpet.
