🜍 BIRTH — WEEK 4 When Nothing Feels Wrong Anymore
The cemetery looks normal again.
Sunlight.
Warm.
Soft.
Flowers bloom between the stones.
Even rows.
Even colors.
Nothing too much.
Nothing too little.
Chibi walks ahead.
“See?”
He gestures around.
“It’s fine now.”
Mara stays at the gate.
Watching.
The grass bends in the wind.
Just enough.
Stops.
She steps forward.
Slow.
Her foot presses down.
The grass moves—
exactly like the rest.
“…that’s weird.”
Chibi crouches.
Pokes the ground with a stick.
Nothing happens.
He presses harder.
Still nothing.
“It’s not doing anything.”
Mara hugs herself.
“That’s worse.”
A bird sings.
Clear.
Bright.
Then silence.
Another answers.
Same tone.
Same length.
Mara flinches.
“…they’re taking turns.”
Chibi listens.
Nods.
“Yeah.”
They walk deeper.
The place where the hole had been—
is perfect.
No flowers too close.
No ground raised.
Nothing.
Mara stares.
“…it forgot.”
Chibi shakes his head.
“No.”
He looks down.
“It fixed it.”
Mara steps back.
“But it wasn’t broken like that.”
Silence.
A breeze passes.
Leaves move.
All at once.
Same timing.
Same stop.
Mara whispers:
“They’re waiting.”
Chibi frowns.
“For what?”
She doesn’t answer.
She looks down.
Her footprint.
Still there.
Perfect.
Sharp edges.
Not fading.
Chibi crouches.
Touches it.
The ground holds.
“…it’s keeping it.”
Mara nods slowly.
“Everything.”
They stand very still.
The air feels light.
Easy.
Too easy.
“Do you feel that?” Mara asks.
“Yeah.”
“It’s quiet.”
Chibi tilts his head.
“No.”
A pause.
“It’s just not letting anything be loud.”
Mara swallows.
“That’s not better.”
“No.”
She looks back one last time.
“What does it want now?”
Chibi watches the ground.
A long pause.
“I think it already knows.”
Mara shakes her head.
“…that’s worse.”
He nods.
“Yeah.”
They leave.
Their footsteps remain behind them.
Perfect.
Unchanged.
The cemetery doesn’t follow.
Doesn’t react.
It just stays.
Exactly as it should be.
