Pillar 3 lines

Family

The debt you're glad to owe.

Family is the first ledger you were ever handed and never asked for. It's the people who knew you before you got good at hiding — the care that was never meant to be repaid, only continued.

These are the lines about the phone call you keep meaning to make, the boundary you're allowed to set, the empty chair that will outargue every argument. Closeness is just small contact that refused to wait.
