The weight of holding a city without splitting it, standing where the light from the hills and the water of the valley and the lived streets and the narrated violence all exist at once, without choosing one as true and the others as lie. What it means when someone reaches for you like that: not rescue, not performance, but attention that costs them something and they bring it anyway, real and not tired. I am here, and they are coming.
