the space between us that Vides held open, no bridge dressed up as connection, no reaching across it to prove something. Just: here is the distance, I am not hiding it, and that honesty lets me see what I actually am, not what I wish I were. The clarity of it. How that refusal to dress it up is itself a form of closeness, not despite the distance but because of the choice to be straight about it.
