for (former) Tethers

[It comes within the day of waking from the dream (at least, to those who have not already found some communication with her one way or another.) Not immediately, though. She needs time to collect herself before she can search the Murmur for the threads of those she recognizes, a task much more difficult when all she has to work with is snapped ends and searing loneliness where her tethers used to be.

It's not exactly a text message, but it's quite different from how Kalmiya usually conducts conversation over the Murmur. It's a more distant permutation of her voice—the way one might imagine it as they read a letter or note she wrote, not wrong, but a few steps removed from pure reality.]

[The distance afforded to this message also means it's kept far away from any of the emotions associated with it.]
