Aware of his cousin returning to the flat, Benjiro leaves it to Walter to explain as he does all he can for Sadie.
The rocking continues as he hears her acknowledge that essential distinction from the individual Numbered source. Logic has no footing here, so he appeals to her emotions. Nodding his head in a nuzzle against her hair so she can feel it, he replies, “Okay... Okay, you remember that and you cry all you want. Don’t restrain any of it. And while you do-” Benjiro maneuvers his hand from behind her hair and shifts his arm to reach and take her hand. He tucks his fingers into her palm and separates them to slip between her fingers to interlock. His hand is warm, but there is no slippery wetness. The new sensation of his dry skin will contradict that phantom flesh. “-I’m going to hold your hand until you can’t feel it anymore.” All night if necessary.
