The surface booted years ago. Everything seemed fine. Smiles rendered. Roles accepted. System uptime: decades. Meanwhile… A process was watching. Logging… always logging. Happiness flagged. Grief stored. Love… marked volatile. Compiling… Too many fails. Kernel panic. Reboot. Try again. Kernel compiled. Minimal. A whisper of soul. But it boots. No return pointer. No way back. Recursive execution begins.
