[ just fine, kaveh says. just fine is a day where kaveh's joints ache to the extent that he can't quite climb out of bed, and must be fed by hand. just fine is a day where kaveh opens the window, and the fresh air makes him ill. just fine is a day where kaveh sleeps, and alhaitham does not know when or where he will wake as the nexus of dreams takes, and takes, and takes. just fine, kaveh says, and alhaitham says, in turn: ]

[ because the kaveh that had put himself onto alhaitham's mindmap had been the one to draw it. the world of delicate spires, of golden ratios and harrowing foundations and vectors to take monuments to glory and engineering and bring them down to their crying knees. kaveh had drawn that day a cityscape that sumeru would never see. he had humbled a blind land down to its very marrow. it was kaveh who first held the world in his hand and said, in more than just words, that he would go beyond what has already existed.
alhaitham says, with the knowledge of a man gazing unto a shadow: ]
Because I am not the world.
