Gemini

The debt you carry that has nothing to do with money is the one that reshapes every conversation you have with the person who holds it. One small fact you learned about what they did for you years ago, or what you failed to do for them, and suddenly every phone call runs through that filter first. You find yourself keeping score in a game neither of you agreed to play, measuring your words against a ledger only you can see. What started as gratitude or guilt has become the thing that decides which version of yourself shows up when they call.
