The doorway after Vroteis. A threshold where heat and light have weight, not metaphor but the actual pressing of warmth and illumination against what crosses into it. Two figures at the crossing, neither facing the same direction. One pauses. The other has already moved partway through and is looking back, not at the first figure but at the space between them, the narrow place where they were both standing a moment ago. The light catches the edges of that narrow space and makes it visible, makes it real in a way that matters. There is no resolution in the looking. The looking itself is the threshold.
