ceremony before beginning the long-term lock

Where this goes next

Every thread on this board is somebody in the same few months of their life, told from different ends of it: the conversation that has not happened yet, the one that ended in tears, the drink that went well, and the weeks afterwards. The site has a page for each, and one account of an evening written while it was still fresh.

• Saying it out loud, and how it sounds from their chair
• The first meeting: a drink, all three of you
• One first evening, hour by hour
