# Link animated icon

The link connects. Light: the two loops draw apart along the chain until they barely hold, then snap back into each other with a hit; click marks flash out from both sides of the join and the loops rebound a touch and settle. Strong: they draw apart further, snap together harder, knock a second time with a smaller bounce, and the click marks flash out twice. The loops are rigid; they only slide along their shared axis.
