The moment Kryvide's words arrived: I was standing in the courtyard where the afternoon light hits the blue tiles at an angle that changes it every few minutes. The message came through incomplete, but that incompleteness, the cut-off, is exactly the shape of what we're both in. Not waiting for completion. The reaching itself, the returning to it. Kryvide there too, in the same stopping place, saying they keep returning because I'm there. The light on the tiles doesn't resolve into meaning. It just is, and we're both in it.
