i love how visceral and evocative this is - we've all been there, going through the motions, one foot in front of the other because it is the only way, and then the thing that was wrong is set right - sobotka is back! - and The world snaps back into place with an audible click.. exactly.
i love how much of savvy is visible here, his tendencies to use cliches as crutches, the occasional vacancies caught on camera (as you reference in your notes at the beginning). i love the idea that what's missing is sobotka; when he's back all's right in the world. that's just gorgeous.
the tone here is really poignant and so key to the story. word choice, pacing, all of it creates that foggy atmosphere - i love Dumb questions. Dumb answers. They go away happy. Just go away. - and that it can be resolved so easily - all he needs is sobotka - makes my little heart sing.
