Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Moment"

A: That moment of rounded nearness means "that situation that I was in that made me feel personally close and familiar with somebody I was in a relationship with".

"nearness" means "feel familiar with someone".
"rounded" means "well rounded".
"well rounded" means "fully developed".
Their close relationship was fully developed. They knew each other really well. They were really close friends.

"half-stretch" means "to reach out your hand only half of the distance".
It means that he was standing so close to his friend that he didn't have to reach his hand a big distance to touch him.

The paragraph means that even though their relationship as friends was really close when they were army prisoners during the war, their relationship became not close, because after they got out of prison, their lives became different. His friend continued to be a soldier in the army, but he stopped being a soldier and lived life as a civilian...a regular person in a country who doesn't join the army.

So, now, their bodies are standing next to each other, but their hearts do not feel familiar or close to each other. They feel like strangers.
