To signal to the player that, yes, this box is supposed to be just a box, I had to spend 10 times longer making this box, to ensure every pixel was in place. I'm proud of this moment, leveraging some recent dynamic lightmap tech built into Copper. Labor evokes thickness, depth, and mass. Ornament has a function!
