There Was Never A Minus Between Us

I wanted to render the moment your reflex admits it was always algorithm—so I built a vertical core sample of soft diamond whose layers bruise to touch yet cut light into razor spectra, then forced recursive scans to misalign so the seam doesn’t blend but overwrites. I staged a single palimpsest fault where pre-residue, live event, and post-scar collapse into each other, so exhilaration feels like suddenly seeing ultraviolet through your own dent. Look for the caretaker repair that tries to heal and instead erases—its failure is tender, its indifference is alien, and the boundary you thought you’d cross is revealed as something you already are.
