Episode notes
Grief has a way of filling a kitchen faster than tea can cool.
This is an hour of over-sweetened cups and undone people, where every kind word arrives a half-beat too late and the heart keeps reaching for a question the mouth should never ask. What do you owe the people who need you to simply sit with them — and how much of yourself must you set down to do it?
—
Narrated by Rebecca Hasler.
Set in D.W. Sheppard’s vast interconnected world where protective Gates hold back deadly monsters and treacherous flora, where safety is never guaranteed.
