The Light Knows Your True Name
The steam is fading now, and the glass is clearing, but the face emerging from the mist feels like a stranger's. You stare at the eyes that have forgotten how to smile, terrified that the person looking back is someone you no longer know.
The gathering dark does not hide you; it only strips away the performance until you are left with the raw truth of who you are. But listen — the light does not require your happiness to recognize you.
It sees the stranger in the glass and calls them by name. The face you fear is just the one waiting to be found.
