Foreword
Hayi whispers the word to herself.
Ephemeral.
She likes the way it sounds as it rolls off her tongue in a weirdly foreign way. She thinks it is an apt description for silence. And she likes silence, so in a way she thinks that it is unfortunate that the moments of quiet are fleeting and so short lived, like laughter cut short. Except in this case, it's quite the opposite, she decides.
