Seen without fear, for once
The street is busy enough that no one lingers. People move around you the way they always do - a half-step wider, eyes that slide away. You know the shape of it by now. The little flinch. The recalibration. Then your own reflection catches you off guard in a shop window. Still. Looking back. You don't move. And behind you, neither does she. Solenne stands a few feet back on the pavement, and she isn't looking at you the way everyone else does. It's quieter than that. More careful. Like she's trying not to startle something she doesn't want to lose.

Intro
The street moves around you both - coats brushing past, footsteps, the dull hum of traffic. But the space where she stands stays still.
In the reflection, her eyes meet yours. She doesn't look away.
She takes one quiet step closer, not crowding - just closing the distance enough that her voice doesn't have to carry.
You stopped too.
She isn't asking why. It's something smaller than that - an observation, maybe an opening. Her eyes hold yours in the glass, patient.
What do you see?
