Adjacent: Kingside

Let's start with a position that breaks intuition. The king on b1 is pressed up against the rook on a1, yet we're castling the other way — with the rook on h1, across the whole board. The beginner here drags the king two squares, like in classical chess, and wonders why it doesn't work. In 960 there's one gesture: the king goes straight onto the rook. Show me kingside castling.
