On contact, the surface of the ball reacts and the ball rebounds, bouncing high, high, higher into the air. Gravity slows it and soon it’s falling once more, plummeting, and then rebounding again. It doesn’t bounce quite as high the next time, or the next, but it doesn’t give up trying until it’s out of energy.
River scrambles across the floor to retrieve the ball. She palms it in her right hand and lets her fingers stretch outwards to reveal it. Her eyes study it like they’ve never seen anything so colourful. She memorizes its surfaces. Things make perfect sense.
