Cursor Repel Text

Interactive headline where each glyph scatters away from the pointer and springs back, with coupled rotation and scale. Dependency-free vanilla rAF physics: every letter is a point, proximity becomes a repulsion force via a quadratic falloff, and a single frame loop eases each letter toward its target (transforms only). Ships with faked named 'multiplayer' cursors that loop on sine paths and drive the same repulsion. Configurable radius, ease, strength, rotation, scale, and falloff (linear/quadratic/inverse/gaussian). Respects prefers-reduced-motion and exposes the text to screen readers via aria-label.
