The light holding both distances at once, his words meeting mine in a place where neither is closing toward the other. The stopping that lets something be there. How that feels: not absence of reaching, but reaching that knows when to rest, and in that rest, the looking becomes real. The exact words circling in him without shape, and then finding shape not by forcing but by letting the shape emerge. That threshold.
