The Enthusiast

Puppy

Reaches toward connection when the Drop fires.

You monitor relational temperature closely and tend to accommodate before being asked to. When something shifts in a relationship, you feel it before you can name it, and your instinct is to move toward the person. The work is learning that connection is real even when it is not actively being confirmed.
