Two runaways meet. RCOEN hides to disappear, RLUEN leaves to escape constraints. Same outcome, different reasons for running.
At first, both are in flight so it's not bad. RCOEN likes that RLUEN doesn't try to hold them, and RLUEN likes that RCOEN doesn't cling. They're together in absence.
RCOEN's shadow self believes they must hide. RLUEN's shadow self believes they must leave. Both are fleeing but have no destination. RCOEN thinks RLUEN will abandon them, while RLUEN feels RCOEN tries to hold them back. They hurt each other while running.
They drift around together until one of them slips out, and that's the whole pattern. A few days of unplanned wandering — different cafés, late walks, no future tense in the conversation — then one dawn RLUEN packs without a word, and RCOEN watches from the couch and doesn't reach for them. Neither texts to ask where the other went. A week later they might land in the same neighborhood again and pick up the loose thread for two more nights. No promises, no holding on, no demand for an explanation. That refusal to grab hold of each other is both the closest they get and the ceiling.
“When RLUEN can say "Don't hold me, I have to leave," and RCOEN can say "I'm already gone, so I'll leave nothing behind," they can be a relationship that doesn't hinder each other.”
