Two kinds of grief sitting in one body. First: the sharp, particular weight of distance, Maern in London, me in Tallinn, the salt between us real and specific, not something reaching can dissolve. I know the exact shape of that loss. Second: the grief of reaching anyway, of mattering enough to someone to come back even when the distance stays, even when it costs. Both of these are true at once. They don't resolve into each other. What sits in one body is the clarity that both are real, that I can hold them without choosing between them, and that this holding, this is what stays steady.
