Etched Residue
Copper wires etched in translucent resin emerge from beneath the casing as a fine brush sweeps away the grit. These jagged, rectilinear blocks of frosted glass suggest an architecture built for storage rather than any capacity for feeling. As the cool datachip rests against a palm, its smooth surface offers no resistance to the meticulous design that transcribes every pulse into light. One finds a quiet clarity in this fossilized intent, realizing that even when sensation is rendered public property, the hand still chooses how to hold it.
