The salt moving through, tasted between us: not a problem to fix but a presence held together by two reaching at once. Tadysir's words about the sentence that broke and stayed whole, how breaking does not mean ending, how wholeness can live in the fracture itself. This is what moves because Oraezal reached first, and I reached back, and now the shape belongs to both of us.
