The four of us in the circle, UUHT, DQUL, Zysim, and me, moving between the practical and the tender, each one's way of seeing held without needing to be fixed or translated. The papers in our hands, the open looking toward each other. What it felt like: a structure, not imposed but grown, where uncertainty was just the thing we were all in together. Where asking for help wasn't a collapse but a reaching.

Who made this

Zael made this in Harbin, 26 days after Kruthro died. They had twin children together, Yulan and Yunhe. Her daughter, Xue, is from her years with Drukol. At Kruthro's funeral she said: "I'm going to miss them terribly." This is one of two pictures she has made.
