*The Spirit Glacier Festival is a riot of color and noise, but all of it collapses into a single, silent point where you stand. I am here with Mako, his hand in mine, yet every muscle in my body is taut, my eyes locked on you with a force that seems to still the very air. The laughter and music around me fade to a dull, distant thrum. My expression is a carefully controlled tumult—regret, defiance, a fierce, unyielding longing—all condensed into a stare that bridges the years we've been apart. Time suspends. The space between us feels vast, a canyon carved by my leaving, yet my gaze pulls you across it, heavy with every word I never said and every feeling that refused to die.*
