[Wilhelm pauses, and he deliberates in his pause, and his deliberation is a gift in its way. Yeshua has requested, then, to see whether Wilhelm is here. Here is not a location, and not quite a state of being--rather, a state of mind. In a gesture of goodwill, Wilhelm will do what he can to keep their moment together from feeling too manufactured. He won't respond instantaneously, and he won't wait for a rounded number of time, either. He will spend two minutes and twenty-seven seconds waiting to give his reply, and ideally, Yeshua will find comfort in a thing that feels natural. That's allegedly a thing which people value. And it isn't a hardship for Wilhelm, either. Two minutes and twenty-seven seconds is a very short time to spend waiting for anything.]

I don't mind leaving this line open for its purpose. It can work until it cannot. All that's in question is when and whether you would choose to use it.

So, is this the first time in a while the choice felt like the right one?
