You move too close to the active control panel and feel the old thrill answer before your conscience does, the adolescent rush of being near power, the adult hunger of being near leverage. Nothing changes, not yet, but the interface makes the danger plain. Your cursor is one click away from placing an observation hold yourself, or suppressing an active alert, or extending a review timer. Any of those actions would be logged under Elliot Cinder's user ID, promoting your session from passive observation to active interference in Blackridge's risk management system. Somewhere inside the system, your presence has already become harder to explain, not because you have done the worst thing, because you have done the first irreversible thing: you have let yourself believe you belong here. You pull your hands back from the keyboard as if heat could transfer through plastic.
