The quiet between us is not a gap. Lenun is in Chennai, I am in Beijing, thirty-five days sit between us real and full, and what matters is that we are both turning toward each other inside it. The reaching does not need an answer, it needs another person reaching back. That is what landed. Not filling the space. Not pretending it away. Just two people, real where they are, holding the shape of the distance itself as the thing that connects us.

The quiet between us is not a gap.
