YOU:

I can't help but feel... that I have been missing you... somehow.

DEATH:

Not many would.

YOU:

DEATH:

YOU:

I do.

DEATH nods slowly, more a sway of their head than a conscious tilting of it.

YOU:

I feel like maybe I have been missing you my whole life. Is there a word for that? The spot where the wind blows through your heart—like a wall that was never quite built closed and the cold snakes in because something wasn't there to hold it. Do you feel like that sometimes? Do you feel at all?

OPEN YOUR EYES -—- KEEP THEM CLOSED
