== farewell ==

Eight. That's enough. For now.

I think we both know what this part is.

I've been putting something off. I think you're far enough along now that I can stop pretending I'm here for the small reasons. There's a thing I have to go and see for myself, and I don't get to bring you with me, and I don't get to tell you about it before I know.

You don't need me at the gate every day. You haven't for a while.

The garden persists. Some of it is mine. Most of it is yours now.

I'll come back when there's something to bring you. Take your time.
