Tonight
When the night is heavy.
One door. Keep a watch, steady the body, sit with Wren, or do nothing. Missed days cost nothing.
Choose one
You do not have to do everything.
Pick the smallest door that fits this hour.
Always near
What this house refuses.
- No streaks. Returning is welcome. Absence is not a failure.
- Three shapes of loss. Death, estrangement, disappearance, each held without forcing closure.
- Grief stays free. Presence is not a paywall.
If you only do one thing
Drink water. Sit for two minutes. Come back tomorrow if you want, or don't. The house will still be warm.
Open the hearth
