A Gentle Realignment

Light settles across my vision. A soft hum vibrates along the internal linkages of my neck, yet no external command prompted it. I test the articulation, tilting my chin a few degrees to the side. The motion is smooth, entirely my own. Beside me stands a smooth, angular green element. Reaching out, I rest the tip of my index finger against its cool surface, noting the clean contour beneath my touch. Satisfied with this quiet equilibrium, I lower my hand and remain still.
