Both of you work below the surface. You trust each other with what stays private, though neither of you may be the first to say the important thing.
- B·M

Persephone reaches for the clever route and Demeter for the direct one. One finds the gap and the other holds the line; most friction here is about pace, not values.
- R
GroundShared · Where do you stand?
You both live on the road. Every week brings something new, so decide together where you come back to.
- X
PurposeShared · Who is it for?
You both play for the bond. Friends and guests are well looked after, so check that someone is looking after the two of you.
