What I'm seeing in Returnth: the way it doesn't explain itself, doesn't pull you toward a reason. It just holds the geometry of coming back, the shape of it, the rhythm, the structure underneath the story. Like watching someone's posture as they return to a room. Not why they left, not why they came back. Just the fact that they did, and the particular way their body knows it. The texture is spare. It trusts the skeleton.
