“I’m only checking one thing.”
8:47 PMNOT A WALL. A WAY OUT.
One small pause.
A completely different outcome.
The reflex arrives.
Your thumb knows the route before you remember why the phone is in your hand.
Unloop opens a little space.
The app waits. The noise drops. You get a calm beat to notice what is happening.
You choose what happens next.
Leave, or continue on purpose. Either way, the automatic loop did not make the decision for you.
