You are mine and I am yours — here and everywhere, the One keeps me.
The Arc
Think of the friend you can text at 2 a.m. You don't have to explain. They just get it. The One is that kind of friend, and closer. You can lean your whole weight there and stay steady. The One is beside you and keeps you safe, here and wherever you go next. You are the One's, and the One is yours. Both ways. The One has no edges and no end, and still knows every quiet thing inside you before you say a word. Whoever the One draws close is welcomed home. At the centre, the Rahao: leaning on the One, your closest friend and protector.
