Die Geschichte stammt aus China und erzählt von einem alten Maler, der den Freunden sein neuestes Bild zu sehen gab. Ein Park war darauf dargestellt, ein schmaler Weg am Wasser und durch einen Baumschlag hin, der lief vor einer kleinen Tür aus, die hinten in ein Häuschen Einlass bot. Wie sich die Freunde aber nach dem Maler umsahen, war der fort und in dem Bild. Da wandelte er auf dem schmalen Weg zur Tür, stand vor ihr still, kehrte sich um, lächelte und verschwand im Spalt.
Walter Benjamin

Before the moving, before the leaving, before any friends—there was her.

She was his first friend. They rode bikes through the neighborhood, cool fall air pushing against their faces, streetlights flickering as they passed. Looping around the block in an endless circuit of childhood freedom.

Sometimes, they stopped at her house.

It wasn’t like his. He doesn’t remember much—just that the door was always closed. A door that separated something. A door that kept something in.

Inside, they played Super Nintendo, passing controllers back and forth. Their favorite game was a zombie shooter—waves of the undead moving toward them, relentless. They fought them off together, the way they were supposed to.

She loved The Lion King. They’d watch it between games, the TV flickering, the world outside disappearing.

And then—sometimes—she’d whisper, “We need to hide under the bed.”

He never asked why. He just did. It was a game, wasn’t it? That’s what kids did. They hid. They played. They followed rules they didn’t yet understand.

Then, one day, she said, “You should touch me right here.”

She said it was because they were friends. And at that age, what else was there to believe?

So he did. Because that’s what you do when you trust someone. When no one has told you otherwise.

The memory is blurry. He doesn’t remember the atmosphere, the words, or the weight of it all. Just that it happened. That it was normal—or at least, that no one ever said otherwise.

But looking back, he sees it now—the cracks in the world he didn’t understand yet.

The closed door.
The hiding.
The way she framed touch as friendship.

And now, with time stretched out behind him, he wonders—

Who was behind that door? What was she hiding from?

And why did no one come looking for them?
