Did you see me yet?

I'm right here, just outside your periphery...

Silently waiting for you...

To notice me.

Ready to

Attract. Distract. Retract.

Come back!

Together we could make nothing out of something. Alone...

I am just nothing.

Oh! Look at me! Another shiny thing.

Now... Where were we?
