He knew.


He knew that I stole a glance at him

over my glass of iced tea,

As he was sitting by the window

observing traffic.


Or

was he waiting for me?


"Were you...

waiting for me?"


A small inclination of his head.


My sudden outburst streamed out of my body

I'm using too much energy for this.


I feel faint again.

No food and too much energy used.

My fuel tank's run dry.


He breaks my fall, again.

Graceful. Like a dancer catches their partner

Mid dance.


Through the dimming haze around my mind

I hear his whisper

He's talking to me

Does he know I can still hear him.

Maybe not.


"I, Jason Itokazu,

swear upon the heavens

to protect you."


The heavens?

Is that where dreams come from?

My thoughts wonder and I feel myself

fall away from consciousness.
