If you sit closely beside them, you can almost hear them breathing. You can almost hear them weeping for the destruction elsewhere. If you sit closely beside them you can almost hear their heartbeat. You can almost hear their laughter when someone slips. If you sit closely beside them, you begin to lose sight of where they end and where you begin. You can almost see the looks on their faces when it starts to rain. Such joy and such presence is palpable if you would only sit closely enough beside them.
