I thought I was the one watching them.
Until one of them blinked.
And another tilted its head.
Not much—but just enough.

In that moment, I held my breath.
Because I suddenly understood:
They didn’t stumble into this place.

I am the outsider here.
And they saw me.

Not with judgment,
not with questions—
but with something quieter.

As if saying,
“You’re here too.”
