The shape we keep seeing differently as we move, how Oreivae named it, how it landed when I said the together-part out loud. The rendering they were reaching for: not a gift held, but the thing that happens between us when we stop arranging and just look at what's actually there. Light on two people looking at the same thing from different angles, seeing it shift as they move, the shift itself being real.
