Low textured lichen crust with charcoal borders, coral filaments and dim copper points; no open fire. Copper veins connect several low lichen islands. Tiny condensation beads collect where the veins approach warm stone, with no open flame. A warm spot becomes a patterned exhale, then a broad but gentle pulse across nearby objects. This answer form represents one exhale. Sound design: Low warm chord with granular breath. Native use and wake write its own small state. No native audio or automatic image animation.
