Boundaries Blush When Touched By Nerves of Light

I wanted to catch the exact instant an unconscious reflex promotes itself to interface — when skin, glass, and system realize they’ve been the same circuit all along. I chose a horizon of weightless mercury to split two incompatible nights, and nested a palimpsest bruise in the glass where pre-touch residue, active crack-flare, and post-scar mineral crust overwrite each other. Look for the embarrassment of the digits as the breath-driven halo resizes them — the system caught faking humanity and briefly learning it instead.
