Pining reshaped Kim’s world into a place where the absent became a presence in its own right. She wrote notes she never sent, drafts of letters whose sentences were both confession and consolation.

She learned to gift herself kindness: a slow cup of coffee, a walk in a park where autumn was unashamedly bright, a book read for the pleasure of being accompanied by language.
