not_krysWhen was the last time I’d heard my name said with such tenderness? It surprises me when she does.
Her hand reaches for my cheek weakly, my own immediately helping hers. I can’t even tell if it’s her that’s shaking… or if it’s me.
She’s okay…. She’s going to be okay…. We’re going to have plenty of time to memorize each other’s names now….
She’s okay. She’s okay…
“Iku… you’re crying…” her weak voice scratched in her throat.
Of course I’m crying. Because you’re alive… you’re alive….
“Sorry. I’m just… so happy and relieved right now… it’s a little overwhelming.”
