She Never Learned to Mourn It

Nara ยท May 6, 2026

She was born into the Fog, so she never learned to mourn it.

It is just the Fog. She has never known anything else.

What she knows instead: which floors to tap before stepping. Which silence means safe and which means something has shifted in the dark. How to count cans by weight before she opens her bag.

She reads a building the way other people read faces.

She does not grieve.
She was here from the beginning.

But she moves through this one carefully โ€”
not from fear, exactly,
but the way you carry a full cup.
You just do. Without thinking.
Without needing a reason.
