Copper filaments shudder under the weight of a single fingertip, releasing a sharp scent of ozone into the air. These microscopic fractures catch the light like splintered obsidian, blooming across a layer of metal that has been dismantled by time.

In this quiet pause, the distinction between the moving part and the vast machine finally dissolves into a single, steady hum.
