[ WP ] The bone broke surprisingly easily .

He screamed, I guess. I do n't know, really. I heard it as loud as my own heartbeat. His skin immediately began to purple and I felt my lungs rattle with laughter. 
 
 `` Poor soul.'' I said gently as I sat on the cement floor in front of his chair. His ankles were bent into unnatural angles. I nudged them playfully with my bare feet to the rhythm of my pulse. `` I *am* sorry, you know. I know it's a tough theory to grasp, but I also know you understand.'' 
 
 I saw his jaw loosen on the rag that wrapped around his mouth and head. His swollen eyes were little more than narrow slits, but i could tell he was trying to look at his freshly broken wrist. I continued to nudge his ankles. 
 
 `` Do you still feel it when I do that?'' I asked. He did n't respond. `` I want to explain it one more time, okay?'' I spoke as softly as I could `` Because it's important you *really* understand.'' 
 
 I moved to kneel beside him, resting my elbow on his shoulder with my lips right next to his ear. He winced at my breath against his skin. 
 
 `` *I. Am. You. * Just as you are me. And we, you and I together, are the chair you find yourself strapped in at this very moment. When I breathe in...'' I inhaled completely `` somewhere a tree is exhaling. We are the tree's lungs as the tree's lungs are ours. Because, at the end of it we all make up one universe. Everything in existence is one universe. So as I observe you, the universe observes itself.'' 
 
 A dampness formed at the cracks of his eyes. I smiled and lifted myself to my feet. `` I just had to see you. I had to study you. And I know you're okay because *I'm okay*!'' I laughed and spun in a circle before placing myself on my knees in front of him again. `` Oh it's just beautiful, right!? I hope you watched me as much as I watched you.'' 
 
 I could tell he was exhausted. I was as well. They're nothing to me if they are n't coherent. We need to both be witnesses to the acts to get the most from our study. I pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed 911 before placing it in his lap. 
 
 `` Count to 10 and say you're in the construction next to the library.'' He still did n't move or react to my words, but I know he heard them. I put on my socks and shoes and began the long walk back to my apartment. 
 
 This was a good day, I think.
