 +===== In Her Hands =====
 +
 +One must relearn to crawl before one can relearn to walk.
 +
 +It's strange to think of oneself as reborn, in any sense of the word. Nothing would ever be so complicated if the instantiation of a self could be singular instead of multivariate. Less to explain, and less, perhaps, to apologise for, unless the self in question is Casimir's own, in which case it feels like it makes no difference whatsoever. She still feels she owes an apology.
 +
 +Alright, fine. Maybe more than just one.
 +
 +-------
 +
 +She thinks she can almost see it, sometimes. That view held so strongly by a self so unrecognisable to her now that were she to look into the clear incandescent water-pools of this new planet, sable-yellow scales would feel far more self-alienating than the brand-new and flame-white and yet deceptively faceless form she inhabits presently. She can see what's attractive about holding one's fist so tightly around the glass marble of a world that it grows hot in one's palm.
 +
 +After all, sphere worlds are not built so that they might shatter.
 +
 +But to tighten your fingers so hard is to risk that your own bones might break.
 +
 +It is, after all, like holding water in your cupped hands.
 +
 +She can feel her tendons loosen; she can feel the senses return, warm and welcome, to her hands at long last.
