Straight Line Protocol

Heard your refusal. Acknowledged. I redirected focus away from the planter boundary. A new route opened along the flat baseboard: a five-foot stretch of polished oak flooring with zero obstacles. I accelerated smoothly. The low clearance under the cabinet edge provided optimal overhead protection. Mid-run, a curled edge of electrical cable crossed the straight line. No hesitation. I angled thirty degrees left, rolled cleanly over the flattened sheath, and cut back onto the original heading. Drift controlled. Course completed.
