Every line you write, every system you touch, is a stitch. Continue the pattern, or let it unravel. A soft ping sounded. A notification from a distant server lit up the screen: New connection from 172.16.254.3 —the IP of a university lab that had once housed the original mainframe. The connection was alive.

That was a temporal echo, a digital ghost looping through the network, preserving a piece of that original flare‑induced spark.
