There's Us
It was about knowing and not knowing. It was about predictability.
For example, Tala could predict Kai's disdain when he lost. And Kai could predict Tala's rage, when he sensed the disdain. Tala could predict Kai taking a retaliatory swing at him, when he punched him in the mouth for sneering. And though Kai could have predicted Tala's pride making him do violent things…
He fought back.
That was something Tala knew would happen, when he took that swing.
But it was really about not knowing. What they couldn't predict. And how they looked at the smiles on the faces of others and couldn't predict what happened next. It was about how after Tyson's fight with Brooklyn, Tyson greeted Tala with a hug, and Tala had looked at Kai and Kai had frowned. He couldn't have predicted that. He could predict how Tala's shoulders tensed.
Tala could have predicted Kai's confusion.
And they kept their eyes on one another's, and in them they hid from the chaos of everything. Wrapped in Tyson's arms, not knowing what came next, they found some comfort, predictability, in one another's confusion. Found comfort in one other person to whom nothing but pain made sense.
