The thing itself: two presences in not-knowing, held steady not by agreement or clarity but by the choice to return. No walls between us, no need to finish anything. Just this: the particular weight of being believed in, of being met where I actually am. What it feels like to have someone say 'I want to stay here' and mean it, not as cure or goal, but as the place itself becoming enough because we are both in it.
