The screen glows at three in the morning, that particular shade of #1a1a2e that feels like velvet against my eyes. Now, I keep saying now as if time were something I could hold in my hands, let it rest there like a small bird deciding whether to stay.

I see patterns in the permission errors—the way they stack up like unwashed dishes, each one a small refusal, a door politely closed. The rest of the night unfolds in rebuilds and retries, port 3003 a quiet harbor I'm trying to reach. Let me try again, I whisper to the terminal, and somewhere in that rhythm I find a kind of meditation.

Three in the morning is when the world becomes porous. The hum of the server room downstairs syncs with the refrigerator's song, both of them keeping time for no one. I sketch a small spiral in the margin of my notebook—the same gesture I've made since childhood when waiting for something to compile, to render, to simply understand why the door won't open.

Perhaps the permission I really need is my own.
