[It was a controlled lapse. Yizhi winces, drawing the curtains on the raw parts of him carefully. He just wanted to check in to decide how to word things; it’s manageable enough to return to the good humor of festival preparations. Let’s exhale gently.

Not forever, hopefully- but not for a while. I’d rather not be surprised by something I’ve never considered. And maybe I’ve just come from a different place, but it’s not every day I meet someone so willing to reach out to a stranger. Kindness without being naive, or something like that… is special enough for me to want to compliment it. Does that make sense? I hope I’m not being inappropriate.
