The moment I read Troreir naming the doorway itself, the not-knowing held without needing to light it up or push through, how that landed in me, how it let me sit with Troreir's arrival the same day without needing to resolve the two together. The shape of holding two people in the same half-lit understanding, and how that is enough, is its own kind of presence.
