Well. Does a lady apologise? Rarely. But loyalty is a tricky business. Two loyal parties seldom survive unscathed. Someone must disappoint. Today, regrettably, it is I. You asked for delivery.

I served absence. Consider it suspense. Be assured, this typewriter intends to work overtime in the coming year. And when skirts begin to lift, do not protest. You asked for the wind. I once believed inconsistency could be disciplined with a New Year's intention. Instead, I have been forced to ink the unavoidable.

First, gratitude. Genuine gratitude. To those islanders who showed up during Cyclone Ditwah and did the work without auditioning for sainthood. But the rest of you know who you are. Those who documented generosity with cinematic commitment. Capturing hunger, innocence, and yourselves smiling awkwardly while speaking to no one and everyone at once. Performing importance. Do not misunderstand me. You are important. You truly are. You live between the abyss and Hawkins. You maintain the wormhole where compassion meets clout. It is a delicate balance. Exhausting, even. Moving on. When schoolchildren protest their rights, we must take it seriously. Especially Gen Z. This affects you. Today it is a trophy. Tomorrow it is precedent.
