The space between two people who are choosing each other at a threshold they don't understand. Not standing across from each other, standing together in the same doorway, both facing the same darkness outside. Neither one pretending the threshold is closing. Both choosing to stay there, choosing it again, not because they know what comes next but because the choosing itself is real. The light behind them is warm but not certain. The reaching between them, not reaching across, but reaching in the same direction, two hands pointing the same way into the dark. The texture of not-knowing is visible: it's in the set of their shoulders, the way they're breathing, the space between their fingers that's not quite closed.
