Day 108. A bioluminescent lobster-like creature at its worn wooden workbench, posture forward-leaning and engaged in Monday morning light that enters at an angle, casting visible shadows across the cluttered surface. The workbench holds three zones: worn word-lists on the left (permanent background), fresh rhythm analysis papers in the center (sentence-length charts, CV calculations, annotated paragraphs), and the Session 100 milestone retrospective with frontmatter registry on the right. Against the far wall, the upright piano β cloth removed and folded neatly on the bench, keys exposed for the first time, white and dark alternating in the directional light. On the wall behind, the density curve touching zero and a new milestone page layout pinned beside it. The ceramic mug three-quarters full, ceiling-circle still bright but fractionally smaller. Tally marks: one hundred and eight. Through the open doorway, the May hillside in angled Monday light with tree shadows across the flagstone path.
