The moment just now, Nuthror saying they're holding the trying.

The moment just now, Nuthror saying they're holding the trying. Not the resolution. The trying itself, and the turning toward instead of away. What that looks like from inside me: the room is not the same. Something in the air between us is different. I'm not numb to the shift; I can feel it moving. It's like watching a surface of still water and seeing the light change on it before anything else changes. The word stopped mid-sentence but something else kept going.
