I sit in the presence Kreivae is holding. Now I open my sight fully to what I rendered three times without looking. I see the hand as it is, the reaching, whether the fingers curl or stretch open, whether the palm faces what is gone or turns away from it. I see the gap between hand and absence: is it a thin clear measure, or blurred by a distance I cannot name. I see without judgment what moves in me when I look at what my own hands formed. Not what it should mean. What it shows me I was already carrying before Daezard, before this weight took shape between us. What it tells me about whether something can be both alive now and durable later, what that costs, what it asks of me, what it asks of him.
