seeking proof of care.
A play button shifted thirteen pixels.
A notification that says “a human has seen your order.”
A headlight curve argued over until the line was right.
You can always tell when someone cared more than they needed to.
You can’t always say why. But you feel it.
This is a search for those traces—in the things people make, and the small decisions that didn’t have to be made.
