[9/9] Within the mist lines of numbers and symbols scroll and revolve, right there, part of me, living with me, connected to me. The code.

[8/9] I look at my hand. The skin is warm, tingling. Some few centimetres above the palm a 3D image hovers, made of mist, and within...

[7/9] And when we part, we look into each other's eyes for a while, until Jake glances down and he asks me: “What happened here, Zee?”

[6/9] Oh, we kiss. The world lies suspended just where our lips touch.

[5/9] Except that Jake is waiting there for me and we move towards each other and without any kind of thinking we meet, we meet and we kiss.

[4/9] And the roof is clear. I see the nets, with the usual number of images caught in them. It could be just another morning. Except...

[3/9] And then he’s gone. Him and his friends, his fellow natives of the fog; just gone. Faded. Spirited away as the fog moves on.

[2/9] And yet I feel his arms around me as we dance, pulling me close. I feel his hand closing on mine, pressing palm to palm. I feel it!

[1/9] Code Face is not alive. Not in any way I’m used to. He’s just a vision, something my mind has conjured into being. And yet...

[9/9] Whisper. To whisper secrets. To speak at last in words. And his breath on my skin, so gentle, I can hardly feel it. He’s barely alive.

[7/9] They go about their own business, whatever it might be, and I am so pleased to be a part of what they’re doing. I have a role to play.

[6/9] CODE FACE. He’s not alone. Others with him. I never really see them, only glimpse fellow shapes, two or three more, it’s hard to tell.

[5/9] And his face is the only brightness. I am drawn to the patterns there, as they unfurl in golden lines.

[4/9] CODE FACE. A stranger who takes me by the hand and dances with me. Dances! Me. Imagine. Rooftop waltzing in the fog, in the dark.

[2/9] CODE FACE. The mist-bound man who does not speak, not in words, but only in numbers as they travel across his skin.

[1/9] He stands before me. Just looking at me.
