Summary
In Farsi, šeydâ or sheyda translates to “lovelorn, crazy in love” and is often used in Persian poetry to signify a profound bond to another person where the lover’s deep affection transcends ordinary love. The doting affection can lead the lover into both ecstasy and anguish, making the person become frenzied with love. Persian poets and authors have captured the beautiful yet yearnful concept of this state through the lens of being “sheyda.”
After years apart, Alhaitham and Kaveh's paths have converged once again.

Summary
When Alhaitham sees Kaveh's face, unobscured and perfect and freckled, he understands, suddenly, as if cool water has been poured over him, what the poets saw when they saw they gazed up at the sun and then the stars. He understands what it means to be spun from stardust and he understands, more than ever, the fascination with the yellow ball in the sky that's decorated Kaveh's skin with freckles.
He understands, fully, what it means to see and know.
He sees and he knows and and there is still plenty he doesn't know, doesn't understand, but now he knows why space exists between his fingers. He knows why the sun is beloved, why the stars have poets turning their heads upwards to gaze upon them.
//or, au where everyone's faces are blurry until you fall in love with your soulmate, and this only makes life a little more complicated once they learn that a bond shared between soulmates can be revoked.
