One cable. Two enormous datasets.
Touch nothing. Especially the tape.

Two warehouse-sized datasets meet at one taped splice. The left side carries last quarter. The right side carries every decision made since lunch. Load-Bearing Cable keeps both directions speaking by remaining perfectly still. Cleaning staff know the rule. Engineers know it twice. Nobody remembers who applied the grey tape.
The route is simple until a fingertip becomes part of the architecture.
Six operating truths, none improved by closer inspection.
Please stop checking the connection.
Load-Bearing Cable remains under tension.
