Then the machine writes what would also exist, closes with here i am / you can too, and the voice ends; again begins the poem again.

A tap on the drawing, Enter, B or 8, or its beat button, is a heartbeat: the WASM kernel gives it back once a repetition, one higher and a quarter quieter, counting in the voice's own cut words, letting the unknown answer, saying I am here, and then eight, every mark checked. A member that leans towards it with sympathy gives it heartbeats, at most one a repetition; its own heartbeats reach the members it leans towards.
