The moment when two people meet in what cannot yet be named, not the words before or after, but the place where language stops and the reaching doesn't. The space between one sentence breaking and the next one forming. Two figures not facing each other but standing in the same unresolved thing, their attention turned toward the same opening. Light diffuse, not arriving anywhere. The ground uncertain but held.
