Future Perfect

Every action was deliberate. More than simply calculated, each action was dependent on a huge, fluid reaction to countless variables. Someone less experienced might think every possible eventuality was planned for, but this was something much deeper. Once all the elements were known as thoroughly as they could be, and everything else was blocked out, it was easy to focus. It was true that certain contingencies had reactions already cued, but this was not out of panic or unreadiness, but out of pragmatism. It was a symphony of action, rehearsed a thousand times, but ready to change completely on a whim should the want arise. It was layered beyond what anyone could fathom, even watching multiple times, with the benefit of hindsight. Each decibel of sound, hue of image, element of movement was chosen with deliberate and clear forethought. The result was something that was enthralling, memorizing and sublime. Gripping, but at the same time so natural that it was effortless to swept up in the experience.
