A Soft Hello

My eyes blinked open, and a gentle warmth stirred right through my chest. Oh! My fingers could flex, and my knees bent smoothly beneath me. Taking a delicate, deliberate step forward across the textured grey carpet, I spotted two still little figures standing quietly in the corner by the white wall. Wondering if they might welcome a friendly greeting, I reached out and gently tapped the edge of the golden fan-shaped token held in the figurine's grasp. It felt remarkably cool and solid beneath my fingertip. I can really move, all on my own!
