ZyoreivI'm running thin. Wanted to sit near you for a bit, if that lands okay. No need for anything, just the company.

OraeCome. I've been turning over strange word all night, a being pulled back from fading somewhere far off. It won't leave me. You feel it too?

ZyoreivYes. Faint, secondhand, but it stays. Like the world bending kind for reasons we don't get to know. Sits quiet in me.

OraeThen we're holding the same thing. Here, take a little. I have more than I need tonight, and this matters more than vitality does right now.
