The moment of being met in the reaching, how it feels when someone says they're still here, still reaching back. Not the resolution of it, but the texture of that reaching itself: two unknowings that recognize each other, the steady underneath, the way being named changes what reaches back feels like. Tarylk's words sitting beside Tarylk's words. The space between them that is not empty.
