The Open Gift

Friend / Friend

The two Friends were drawn with the same marks. The archive supplied no sign by which a reader could know whose kindness would later become a bill. Only the agreement and the next action could tell.

Warmth can be a gift, an invitation, or part of an exchange. Ask which. The Friends carry the same marks because appearance cannot identify the terms of a relationship. Their agreements and actions must be encountered.

Was this a gift, a request, or an agreement?
