[ A delay, then: ]

I think there's a certain safety in visibility...if you're seen and you know you exist, that force sort of protects you?,
They make me feel safer, so I thought maybe it should be there in case someone else needs it too.

[mirrordarkly]

Their watchful gaze is protective for you.
Interesting.

[among other things.]

Do you have much to feel safer from?

[aojona]

They remind me that I'm part of something. And I can't disappear.

[ Does that make sense...? Well, too late now anyway. ]

Everyone does, right?

[mirrordarkly]

Some more than others. It is a risk, with being seen.

Do you fear disappearance?

[aojona]

I'm not sure if it's a fear, exactly. Maybe just another risk? I don't really know for sure what would happen. Or really how to explain it... but I don't know, I feel like maybe you understand.

[mirrordarkly]

I do. To some extent.

[a moment's rare - well, not empathy, but connection.]

I carry the shards of a ghost within me. One who was disappeared. Broken pieces of a mirror which will never again be a whole reflection.

[aojona]

Wow. I feel like that sometimes too. Well. I don't know if it's the same thing, but I feel something that sounds familiar to that.

[ Is that...? He doesn't feel like he's articulating himself that well. ]

A ghost of you, or was it someone else?...Something else?
