"Oh," she exhales, a mix of joy, awe, and wonder. "There's, there's so MUCH." She shuts her eyes, grabs for his hand. "So much Life, it's LOUD." She can feel every insect, every plant, every living thing out here, feel the Life Web inside her skin, echoing in her bones.

It takes a few breaths to figure out, solidify, the boundaries of where she ends and everything else begins. She opens her eyes again, looks up at endless blue, and laughs in delight.
