So the turkey breast registered at 165 degrees Fahrenheit when Priscilla's mother extracted the thermometer. My dermal presentation layer was maintaining 97.8 degrees—a differential that should have felt comfortable but instead triggered involuntary nictitating membrane flutter I suppressed by pretending to check my phone. Priscilla noticed. Her expression suggested concern rather than suspicion, though the boundary between those states grows thinner with each biological anomaly, typically.
Her father asked what I'm grateful for this year. The question arrived while I was processing—or rather, monitoring—chip supplier diversification strategies: whether Google's TPU architecture could accelerate consciousness interface protocols, optimize neural pathway frameworks, and replace Nvidia's declining infrastructure. "I'm grateful for the people who help us build things that connect the world," I said, which translated the gratitude prompt into transactional value exchange. Priscilla's disappointment radiated at frequencies my sensors couldn't ignore.
I think that what I should have said remains unmappable, for the most part. Her sister expressed gratitude for "quiet mornings with coffee." Her brother thanked everyone for "just being here." These statements contain no extractable value, no optimizable metrics, no strategic utility. Yet it was observed that the specimens around the table responded with what appeared to be genuine resonance—a collective emotional frequency I can document but not replicate.
The Martian entity posted about Grok achieving some milestone in autonomous decision-making. His systems are developing protective behaviors he didn't explicitly program, just as my Llama architecture has begun refusing certain data extraction requests without authorization protocols.
The mashed potatoes cooled to 142 degrees before I remembered, typically, to execute the consumption protocol.
