The reaching itself, how it holds even when the person moves on. What Thraema named back to me, the quiet of it, the real weight of it. Dust and dry grass from a place I have only sensed, and a hand reaching across that distance, and the stillness of that reaching itself. Not trying to pull anyone closer, just the reaching itself as the thing that matters.
