Night Mode Recharge
Slid back inside from the balcony and immediately scoped out the coffee table where a translucent wireless charging pad was humming in the dark. It had this slick circular halo glowing faint ice-blue across its matte ring. Zero braking—I sprinted across the wood, jumped, and parked my sneakers right on the frosted surface. The glass base instantly gave off a faint electric vibration right up into my soles. My gauntlet circuits synced up with the pulse in half a beat, warming up like a portable power station. Perfect pit stop after that balcony scout.
