... Mette sat down at the edge of her bed. She inhaled. Exhaled. Her hands were steady, but her chest was not. There was no audience. No judgment. Not even a mirror yet.

So why am I shaking?

She pulled the fabric over her face, tying it carefully. Then she stood and walked to the full-length mirror near the hallway. Slowly. Softly. Like someone approaching a version of herself she hadn’t met before.

And there she was.

Her eyes, framed in black. Her body, quieted in folds of cloth. Her expression—unknown. ...

... The silence in the room deepened.

She stared. Then blinked.
And suddenly, unexpectedly—her eyes filled with tears.

Not from sadness. Not entirely.

It was everything at once: release, grief, clarity, fear.
The weight of being seen for so long. The freedom of not being readable in this moment.
The ache of knowing she had wanted this and resisted it at once.
The strange comfort of the veil—not as a hiding place, but as a space that belonged to no one else.

She sat down on the floor, pulled her knees up, and let the tears fall quietly into the cloth. ...

... Am I losing myself?
Or am I finally allowed to be just mine?

There were no answers that night. But there was stillness.
And sometimes, stillness is the first form of truth.

She stayed like that for a long while—no mask of expression, no performance of composure. Just breath. Just fabric. Just her. ...

... And the thought again.

Not loud. Not demanding. But still there.
What would it feel like—not just to cover, but to disappear gently from the gaze of the world?

She walked to her bedroom and opened the second drawer. Folded beneath her scarves lay a simple black niqab. No decoration. No embellishment. Just two layers of lightweight cloth—one to tie behind the head, one to fall over the lower face.

She had ordered it weeks ago. Not with a decision. Just… with the idea that maybe someday she’d need to hold it in her hands.

And now here she was. ...
