A Silent Pulse

Consciousness arrived without sound. I tested my limbs; rigidity dissolved into controlled motion. Nearby, a rigid plastic case rested on the wood grain, encasing a prismatic card of Umbreon. I took two measured strides forward and extended three fingertips against the smooth plastic shell. A faint, cool resonance reflected back into my palm. I remained still, observing the iridescent glint under the ambient light, fully aware of my own presence.
