[ kaveh thinks, the thread loops back. once again, the struck sound of it is a familiar, reverberating note, high-fluted and soft and pure. there is an entire discipline dedicated to the mathematics of music. to this day, both the vahumana and the haravatat claim it, though it's the spantamad and the kshahrewar that make the most of use of it. but kaveh has always thought that the discipline was distinctly amurta. when a sound resonates with the purity of a struck bell at daybreak, it can only be described as a cry.
ghost had said this: what i want is to not be alone, so much. it comes back as a refrain. a leitmotif of a thing guiding this conversation back to its roots. ghost looks to her left, and looks to her right, and sees the dearth of people there to be anathema. kaveh suddenly wonders what alhaitham would make of her. you could be alone in different ways. you could be happy, being alone. kaveh is not that sort of person.
but something nags at kaveh. that doesn't make sense. distracted, he tips his head backl. ]
From another perspective, [ he says, speaking his thoughts aloud, ] isn't it that the fact I am making you into the argument implies that the person I am making the argument to someone who cares about you? You said so yourself - I wouldn't use you because it implies that the third party I'm arguing with cares about you. Then, the act of me using you as an example would assert that the third party I'm arguing with does.
[ kaveh's spoon scrapes up the rest of his stew. there is just enough rice to soak in the grains. ] You've happened to me, and you have happened to Netzach. I rather like the shape of this bridge. And I should rather like it if someone used you as an example against me. It would humble me to listen.
