For the part of you that is always leaning forwards, quietly keeping things going while the cost goes unseen. Here, the effort can be set down without blame, fixing or explanation, and the tiredness beneath your capable face can finally be met with kindness. Nothing has to be solved; you are simply allowed to feel the difference between gripping what you carry and holding it.

A gentle storyteller who turns a night into quiet scenes — where the point is the drift, not the ending.
