she pressed enter and the projection leaned forward as if it had something personal to say

her back to the dark grid,
hands floating in command space.
the right side: a moving mass,
half-face, half-environment.
self.input = "prompt"
signal.behavior = "responsive"
self.state = "listening"

it doesn’t mirror—
it anticipates.
“this isn’t my image,”
she whispers,
“it’s my answer.”
red scanlines stretch like tendons.
green fragments breathe in sync with her typing.
let reply = generate({source: "visual", mood: "intimate"})

each key press = a pulse in the other.
each pause = a slow inhale in phosphor.
