He built a world worth staying in.
Every folded towel. Every second cup poured for no one.
A kind of care that looks exactly like love —
and mostly is.
He was very good at shelves.
Not punishment. Not collapse.
Quieter than the performance was.
The first morning you do not need the room to tell you who you are.
