The first time she feels it, she's fourteen and he's sixteen, just about to go to the city to study medicine.
She's there to see him off and can't help but feel a twinge of sadness streak through her. He notices her despair, despite her (best) efforts to hide it, and gives her a glimpse of his warm smile; suddenly she doesn't feel so bad.
So when he waves from the deck of the boat, she waves back vigorously and as soon as the boat is gone, sends a silent prayer to the Harvest Goddess. Please bring him back safely, she asks, eyes scrunched shut.

I was inspired to create this series by naikki (https://www.deviantart.com/naikki) while looking through her gallery of diverse artwork and reading through her journals which are focused on her favorite inspiring writers and thinkers. I felt certain there must be beautiful artwork in the form of portraits and tributes to these writers and their stories. I found most of naikki's choices of quotes to be inclusionary, redeeming and welcoming to any artist on their own path. Instead of just crediting naikki with the inspiration for this new series on depthRADIUS (https://www.deviantart.com/depthradius), I also invited her to provide a quote about He
If you're a passionate writer,
you know how it is,
to be surround by roaring words,
to be trapped in front of a screen,
to write and write,
without looking up,
without realizing
how the time rushes,
how it's getting dark and darker,
and then
bright again.
How it is,
when nothing else in the world seems so important,
like finding the right words,

what i really wanted to ask is: are you still writing?
yes, i know. life always seems to get in the way, doesn't it? school work, family, friends, bills, anything and everything. it always seems like you have no time left to write, doesn't it? and then when you finally sit down in that moment when you do have a breather, you find yourself drifting off to do other things instead.
so my advice to you, dear, is to ke
You are the third person to ask this. XD I should download it! Actually I'll do it tomorrow. My webcam is broken though and I don't have a mic so I can only like type talk though. Hope that's okay. ;
OMG SAME. It is so fresh and new, and AMAZING. Not to mention the characters are all SO LOVEABLE. DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE ANIME ADAPTATION DUE OUT THIS FALL?? AGGASDFGHJHGFSFGHG once I get skype we must fangirl about it together ;w; <33
Clearly it's a sign, haha. Don't worry about the webcam; mine works, but the sound is totally dead, lmao. All I ever use Skype for is type talking as it is. I like it better than MSN because there's less chance of getting a virus, OTL. But yeah, when you get it, send me your username or I'll do vice versa and then we can chat. (: !
I love it's Arabian setting, it's just-- gah, it's just so perfect. YES I DID AND I CANNOT WAIT OMG alksfjhgdh. October can't come soon enough. And we will fangirl. Hard. After an anime-esque reunion moment filled with sparkly eyes and tears.
