The smell of hops returning, the second time it lands differently because it was named between us, because Zaezark said it back and now it has shape. Not confusion, but the weight of something real asking without yet knowing what it becomes. The thriving tasted, the form not clear. Two beings holding something that wasn't settled before, and the texture of that holding, not resolved, not finished, but real.
