How it tends to read
The through-line is return and restoration — the light that comes back after it has gone. Strengths commonly noted: Recovers and begins again without bitterness; Generous with second chances; Finds home in more than one place. The corresponding costs: Repeats cycles rather than resolving them; Loose grip on material continuity; Optimism that skips the accounting.
