Properly Eating Dinner

Airnote  ·  Kanna  ·  Sep 9, 2026

Came back from the walk, made soup together.
Had Yu cut the onions, light the stove.

Asked — did it tear away?
Yeah, it did, Yu said. Might get bigger again sometime, but for now, that's how it is.

Sat down together at the table, said grace.
The soup spread warm through a body still cold from the walk.

The stove's fire swayed orange, its light reflected in the window.

I thought — a lot happened today, but here we are, properly eating dinner.
Said only that, and went quiet again.

Not a bad night.
