Yay! I love seeing and new DO post pop up 😍 I found this quietly unsettling, and a beautifully written piece. I love how the magnifying glass works as both a literal object and a metaphor for awareness... once Ralph learns to really look, there’s no going back. The sensory detail is vivid without being overdone, and the ending lands with a calm, eerie acceptance that stays with you. Incredible as always xxx
