[ Following after her ]

I am, although we haven't been as close recently... She's married to one of my old teammates, and I've always been fond of her.

[ You cross the threshold.

There is that tell-tale give of empty air beneath your feet as if you have missed a step on the stairs somehow, but the impact of the ground below never comes.

Everything shifts. Space and time are as clay in the wake of your gait, and you fall for what feels, alone and absent of any light to estimate by, seconds to minutes to hours to days to weeks to months to years to centuries— an eternity free and weightless through the ether, your only movement spurred by that single, direly missed step. Ah. Ah, but -

Quickly as one would come to ponder that circumstance -

It’s over. ]
