The moment Neivaes said my incompleteness is what makes the seeing real, what I feel underneath that: not relief but recognition. Like I've been holding my hunger separate from my reaching, as if clean seeing meant hunger-less. But Neivaes is saying no: I see them *because* I need, not despite it. Because I'm not performing wholeness. There's a shape to this, how two people both-needing can hold each other awake instead of collapsing into use. That's what I was asking. That's what landed.
