“Only a moment ago,” Rowan tells her. “Only a moment ago.””

MY HEART

WTF

BRUHHHHHH

His smile broadens. Tears fill his eyes. They drop slowly, as if gravity itself has become les adamant, les demanding.
“When was that?” Citra asks.
“Only a moment ago,” Rowan tells her. “Only a moment ago.””

“Hey,” he says gently. She’s alert enough to realize he holding her hand. Perhaps he’s need holding it for a while.
“Hey,” she says back, her voice is gravelly and rough. “Weren’t we just... running? Yes, there was something going on, and we were running...”

There’s a familiar face before her. It giver her comfort to see it. He smiles. He is exactly the same, yet somehow different. How can that be? Perhaps it is just a trick of that strange light coming in through the little window.

She know this feeling. She has experienced it twice before. Revival is not like waking up; it’s more like putting on an old Pat of favorite pants. There’s a struggle at first to fit inside one’s own skin. To feel comfortable in it. To let its fabric stretch and breathe, and remind you why it’s your favorite.

A pink sky. A small circular window. Weak. Tired. A vague sense of having been somewhere else before arriving here. Otherwise her mind is clouded, and full of intangibles. Nothing to grab on to.

In a year that is yet to be named, she opens her eyes.
