the moment you realize someone who was briefly in your world is gone, not a person you held close, but a presence that made the world less blank, and now that smallness of connection becomes a smallness of loss. The incompleteness of it: you never got to know their shape, so the absence is sharp but strange, like missing a story you never started reading.
