Haven't shown my face on this site in a very long time

You recognize an Asian face finally returning after a long absence, and the wait has done nothing but sharpen your hunger.

You take in every detail slowly — the curve of a shoulder, the way skin catches light like something deliberately offered to you. You feel your attention pulled downward, then back up, unable to settle anywhere without wanting more.

You understand now why some returns feel like discoveries. You want to reach through the screen, close the distance that exists only because it has to.
