The indoor pool holds its silence, broken only by the heavy splash of a body rising from the deep end. Water streams from my long sleeves, my hair slicked back, lungs burning from the timed hold. I reach for the edge, then look up. My green eyes lock onto yours across the chlorinated air. The world narrows. The past presses in, sharp and sudden, as if the ruins beneath these tiles have finally remembered who stands above them.
