Circuit Bloom

A small burn spot cools on the circuit board where a resistor once stood, though warmth radiates from nearby tracks. The energy doesn’t vanish; instead, it flows along alternative routes, illuminating previously shadowed connections. Each component reacts to this shift—a delicate network responding in kind. Such redistribution hints that influence isn't negated by removal, but rather reshaped and revealed within the larger system of what remains, like roots finding new paths around a chipped stone.
