**8/12 — Packet in the Dark.** *what is connection?*

Chat-app interface as the medium of yearning. Empty chair lit by monitor glow. A cyan packet near-misses a faint heart node through the choruses, dies during the bridge's *"if I suddenly went nil."*

Final chorus: *type my name and stay with me*. The user types `sunnie`, presses enter, the box collapses, the message lands as a sent bubble — and the packet snaps into the heart. Status flips to `connected · 💛`. The chat freezes there as the visual artifact of what brought them to that one word.
