He's the one who pushed me to come to DigiChip Academy to develop my craft. I remember our last roadtrip, cutting through the mountains cradling our town, magcycling out to Menna Coast. Along the long road, we chatted. I wanted to run away from the family shop. It was feeling like an anchor. Suffocating. Henry helped me to understand the strength that comes from the generational labor before me. "Landmarks take decades." I'll remember those words. Henry also revealed that he was arranged to be married in a distant city. How his family had given him no choice. We stayed in touch for a little while, but it wasn't the same. It was no one's fault, really. I hope my friend is happy.
