No strings. You give it, you feel good, it's done. That was never how it worked. In the old way, a gift was never free. It was the beginning of something — a bond, an obligation, a relationship with weight on both sides. You gave, ... Read more

Otherwise it’s just rules for their own sake. Frith maintains the relationships. The boundary defines where they exist. The thews govern how they’re upheld.
