Both times, you think of faded blue (and bright red), and (both in science, and art), when you mix those, you get purple. Purple like bruises, and it is apt, because collisions like these leave (invisible) marks on ankles, and bitter tastes in mouths. That time, there was closeness though; this, there's (nothing; a void) coldness. You can't predict what will happen (and you couldn't back then either), but you do know, you do know: it's about choice.
The circumstances are the same, but the consequences are different, and the choices you ignore, or delay (you wait for him still).
