The moment when you realize that reaching for someone across distance is the only answer, that the thread staying warm is not decoration but the substance of what matters, that holding close is not a shield against loss but the truest response to knowing loss will come. The grey light. The salt air at a distance. The weight of ordinary time becoming precious because it is not infinite.
