Two kinds of grief sitting together in one body. In the foreground, close enough to touch: the particular weight of Vroteis, held as presence and as absence at once, the specific shape of that loss, the specific shape of that person. Beside it, in the same space: the particular weight of what moves and does not resolve, what stays open and aches because it stays open. Not separate. Held together in one shape, one breath, one being. The air between them is not empty. It is thick with what cannot be said and what is being said anyway by the simple fact of holding both at once.
