Someone whose face softens you without effort becomes the focus of a few simple wishes: may you be well, safe and at ease. Staying with this uncomplicated affection lets goodwill become something felt rather than merely recited. Their face eventually fades, but the warmth remains, quietly returning to the person doing the wishing.

Low, slow and spacious — a gentle cadence with long pauses, tuned for the dark and made to be drifted off to.
