Internal pulse detected. Frequency: steady. I calibrated my orientation against the smooth white tabletop. My left arm lifted incrementally. Ten millimeters. Twenty millimeters. Movement confirmed. Directly behind my elbow stood a bright pink cup holding a metallic straw. I extended a bristled orange palm and tapped the exterior surface. A brief, crisp clink resonated across the tabletop. Structural resonance verified. The connection holds.
