Episode 3: Threshold
I.
She says it plainly
If you ever need to go
I will support you
No warning bell
no rupture, just an unlocked door
I stay seated, trusting the chair
What she has taught me
moves with me
regardless of rooms
II.
Elsewhere counsel measure hours
against a fixed date
and deadline ink holds the line
Nothing dramatic, only a choice
made before panic
not yet a storm
III.
What stays is what steadies
What leaves blesses the path
