Yeh and Lin didn't disappear from each other's lives.
Yeh still showed up in every meeting on time. Her notes on the script were as sharp and composed as ever. To anyone else, nothing had changed.
The only thing that vanished was everything outside of work.
No sharing and no personal conversations either.
Nothing extended beyond what was necessary.
Yeh found current status make her feel peaceful and safe. While there were moments, when she was alone, she can't help feeling low somehow. But she understood it clearly.
People always feel the absence of something more than its presence.
And without expectation, there would be no disappointment.
As long as she kept this distance—
when the project ended, they could walk away from each other. Essentiallu, they are just two people, once connected, return to separate worlds as if nothing had ever happened.
