The expanse above an inky unknowable depth, the way forward narrow.

Umin spreads his arms wide and warily. Soon finding the rough-smooth, like glass resolved once and hardened again, walls with the flats of his open palms, elbows slightly bent.

Paces, paces...

Spaces with many corner-cases.

Oh, here you come, here I am!

With laces in hair, on hand…

Something spectral sang soft-sweet, from nowhere and everywhere.

Leaving Umin unable to sift sound from thought. Not knowing whether the voice had entered his ear or found shape in the spaces behind his eyes.
