Her posture is unstable, as if the world around her is slowly drifting. A clay dog(Border Collie) stands beside her. Its body is solid, grounded, unmoving. Its eyes are focused only on her. The dog gently presses its head against her leg. No urgency. No panic. The environment subtly distorts: walls bend, light flickers, time feels uneven. The dog remains perfectly stable. No distortion. No blur. The elderly woman slowly looks down. For a brief moment, her breathing synchronizes with the dog. Clarity does not return. But grounding does.
