"You recognized the feeling… before the situation made sense."
Logic takes time. It waits for evidence. For the situation to unfold. But the feeling arrives earlier. Before clarity. Before explanation.

Like something you’ve already lived in a different form. ...

"You’ve been here before… just with different people."

familiar

At first, it feels new. New person. New conversation. New beginning. Nothing connects it to before. But slowly… something feels familiar. Not exactly the same. Just close enough.
