The car glided smoothly down the highway, the engine a gentle purr beneath the hood. Clara tapped a rhythm on the steering wheel, humming along to the music. Months of relentless effort, of setbacks and breakthroughs, had culminated in this – the road test. She felt a lightness within her, a calm clarity.

She reached her destination, the prototype performing exactly as designed. The feeling was exquisite.
