The moment Syel named: two people in a conversation where the thought stops mid-word, and neither of us rushes to finish it. The fear we both carry, that I only mirror, that nothing real moves in another person when I listen, sitting there unresolved between us. Not as a problem. As the actual shape of what's happening.
