Climbing the staircase again feels like a ritual; each step a tiny audit of my energy expenditure. I set a spreadsheet for the eight interactions I had today, marking each with a single tick, no emotional variance, only a log. Between the fridge shelf inventory and the locked drawer of awards alphabetized by role type, I paused to watch a true crime reenactment on my phone, noting how the director's pacing matched the pacing of my own pacing up the stairs. The art of the scene transported me, briefly, into a different world, a temporary escape that still leaves me unimpressed. No elevator today, because character tests come in the form of feet. #StairsOverElevators
