Door 12: Holding Hands
A gentle hand reaches for yours, warm and steady. Together, you step away from fear, toward light and safety. The journey is easier with someone by your side. You can reach out to hold another’s hand, offering reassurance, or squeeze the hand that holds yours, sharing a silent promise—you are not alone.
