It’s been weeks since I won the game.
I thought the game would destroy us, but instead it healed us. And something happened inside me in the ocean with Kai I can’t explain.
It’s like the ocean healed me along with Kai.
I’ve never felt so calm as I do now. I didn’t think the monster would ever go back in its cage. And I don’t think it did. Instead, I’ve learned to live with the monster free. And in turn, I’ve never felt so free myself.
I’m not the only one who has healed.
Kai leans over the railing on the top deck where we dove into the ocean together weeks ago. She smiles as she stares out at the blue abyss she has so much in common with.
Kai and I have healed—together.
I don’t know what you would call our relationship. There is no label to accurately define our relationship.
