She knows that they do not see the world through the same eyes.
Even in the dark she can sense it; can feel the weight as he watches her, far too old and fathomless for a face so young. Can understand, if not really comprehend, how it had grown so unbearable that he chose to forego his own humanity for the sake of becoming a tool to help lighten the world.
She wants to stand, step forward; but he reaches out to her in his own way and the choking burden holds her still. She doesn’t yet know how to move with this boy (never mind that she moves a nation), and so she tries to teach rather than to learn.
(She would go to him, let his lashes kiss her palm as she hid him away; whisper, It’s all right, you can stop, you can stay.)
But she is ashamed of how she is afraid to even meet his gaze.
And she is more frightened than ever when she finally looks up to find him gone.
(Belief can be suspended, catching with the breath in her throat; and she goes back to waiting for him to wake her up.)
