well, it can't germinate with you taking pictures of it :P
if you can't resist, plant it in your substrate or starter cube etc and stay away... don't use a shotglass of water or paper towel if you can't stay away (and, don't use those methods anyway, lol).
wait until you are 100% the seed has failed and is now decomposing before you dig it up or inspect. all you'll likely do otherwise is eventually stall or kill a seedling.
