They listened until the song ended and then played it again, tracing each unfamiliar vowel the way one traces a scar with a fingertip to remember how it felt before it healed. Language, they discovered, was not always a fence; sometimes it was a doorway. In the days that followed, they repaired more than radios. They mended fences between neighbors, swapped seeds and stories, taught each other phrases from the cassette by assigning them to familiar things—a word for rain, a word for bread, a word they would use only for each other.

Years condensed like the press of ocean mist. The cassette player’s mechanics were worn; the tapes frayed at the edges.
