A simple wooden table, worn and aged. Two bowls sit on it, both with visible steam rising. On one side, a pair of older hands — weathered, lined, scarred — rest on either side of a bowl, palms down, at rest. On the other side, a pair of younger hands — smaller, smoother — wrap around a cup, held but not drinking, warmth rising through the fingers. The figures are cropped out — only the hands and the bowls and the steam are visible. The two do not touch each other. The same table holds both. The same steam rises. The decision is in the steam — the evidence of something still warm enough to receive. No text. The mood is quiet, grounded, after the choice.
