Cheth

You make people safe. You know how to draw a line that keeps harm out and lets warmth in, so those in your care can finally rest. You build shelter, in bricks and in feeling both, and being inside your protection is like coming home.

The wall goes up too high, or in the wrong place. You can shut out the very people you meant to protect, or hide behind defences so thick that nothing, good or bad, reaches you. What began as care hardens into a shell, and safety quietly turns into loneliness.
