[ He doesn't know this concept. This warm Mom. It circles back to Roxy, who would play it for Dave but doesn't apply to him. He can't put a word to it. That's fine. It doesn't need a name. ] Yeah. That's it.
[ Dirk doesn't have to verbalize it this time. He's already thinking about her again. That warm light in a world of cold ocean blue that feels close enough to touch despite being miles away. Grabbing her hand in their dreams over and over and over. Fierce need to keep her safe. The strongest connection. Just the two of them versus the world. The others don't understand them. They protect them together. A kiss that's easier to give than he thought. The warm body clinging to his side and it's the first human touch. The most genuine smile in the world. Giggles of pure delight and it's his new favorite sound in the universe. Pink that distracts from the terrible. Breath of air in enough loneliness to drown in.
Just them. Always reaching out to him regardless of where he is. A daily greeting. Being cared for and loved and safe. Selfless Roxy who gives and gives. A smile in a thousand frowns. There's this feeling of profound respect directed at her. Awe. Someone to look up to. So blindly whole and pure. Hold close and never let go. ]
