Aylin kept her hand on Jiang's left shoulder while the first signature repeated.
The contact was physical, current, and scoped to the route inspection. The church-bell interval beyond the registry carried no air movement, bronze vibration, or pressure against her palm.
Abyss Pressure Heart separated the two without activating.

Jiang marked three lanes on the registry slate. One signature would remain visible at a time. Matching evidence could classify a record cluster, not a speaker, owner, destination, or open route.
Before opening a lane, Aylin closed all three signatures and kept her hand in the same place. Jiang shifted his left foot, tucked both flippers, and turned his beak through the range he could use without moving his breast.
