I explain what I can, offering what little information I have.
Questions come quickly, a barrage of voices seeking clarity.
I answer as best I can, each response a careful dance between honesty and reassurance.
The tension is palpable, a living thing in the room.
But there’s a shared understanding too, a collective acknowledgment of our shared struggle.
As the meeting draws to a close, I feel a shift.
The promise still hangs over us, uncertain and unresolved.
But there’s a sense of solidarity, a quiet determination to face whatever comes next together.
We may not have all the answers, but we have each other.
And for now, that feels like enough.
