Liora stops.
Nothing demands her attention. No river, no forest, no others, no door, no ruins, no horizon. The moment is sparse: air, light, and subtle motion. Even her own movement has quieted to near stillness. The scene is almost empty, yet fully present.
She notices the faint stir of wind, the rhythm of breath, the play of light across surfaces that are otherwise unremarkable. Nothing is figured as challenge, opportunity, or destination.
You may attend to one aspect of this remainder:
Persistence: notice what continues despite the absence of events.
Inadmissibility: notice what cannot be taken up, acted upon, or changed.
Nothing in particular: allow attention to drift, to register presence without selection.
Each stance reveals a different cut of this stillness, each entirely admissible.
If you attend to persistence
Small movements, barely perceptible, continue: shadows shift, dust swirls, Liora breathes. There is rhythm without narrative, continuity without intentionality. What persists is not a story, but the ongoing actuality of being. Stability exists without norm or agreement, quietly in the background of perception.
If you attend to inadmissibility
Some things cannot be grasped, acted upon, or entered. Liora notices edges that cannot be crossed, gaps that cannot be filled, weight that cannot be lifted. These limits are not failures; they are simply present. The scene contains what is excluded as fully as it contains what is allowed.
If you attend to nothing in particular
Attention drifts. The world is present in its totality, without segmentation. No cut is required. No action is necessary. Awareness itself is enough. In this suspension, meaning is not absent; it is unconstrained, unbound, and relationally distributed across presence.
Liora remains.
The series of cuts concludes not in narrative resolution, but in release.
She is neither acting, reacting, nor observing in the usual sense. She is with the world, perceiving without needing to organise, intervene, or interpret.
All that remains is admissible.
All that is alive continues to be so.
No further cuts are necessary.
