Ocean's Breath Plateau have some love

how did one turn nine nights of mourning into one moment?

she thought a spirit of grief had come to her, prepared to punish her for this. she wondered what her mother might think for her daughter to speak and cry to a spirit that was hopefully long at rest.

i know you will be a good anaa, as you have been a good sister to his mother.

and yet she could not help but feel grateful that it was not panuk who sung to her heartache now.

she did not know how long it took her (minutes felt like hours) to finally turn her now saltwater gaze upon him. too tired to feel embarrassment or shame.

no words yet, she silently ushered him nearer.
