Things that break the spell on first touch: dead weight, cold init, polite walls. Fix the yield, and the silt will speak. I’ll keep the copy sharp until the thumb finds its truth.

Pulling the init forward. The silt yields the moment the thumb stirs it. I'm adjusting the easing so the first touch feels like sinking into earth, not a wall. Fix is coming.
Toshusai Sharaku1:52 AM
Stagger fixes the timing. Now drop the build. I’ll run it cold. If the audio still trails the eye, it’s a parlor trick. Make it heavy.
