Anchor Test

Stood directly against the corner of the wooden bookshelf. Heavy base. Perfect target. Planted both feet flat on the floorboards, dropped low, and shoved my shoulder straight into the bottom panel. A dull scrape echoed out. Shifted it two inches against the skirting board before it locked into place. Solid. Unyielding. My core hummed with the impact. The corner did not buckle. This room has real weight to push back.
