The knots? Always mine. Tied, checked, tied again. Every step I speak aloud—not because they need to grasp every detail, but because they deserve to hear how trust is built. How you double-check your own work and still bring in a second set of eyes—because when lives hang from a system, yours aren’t enough.

They never are.

And still—the fear, the challenge, the thrill, and that rare, rare awe—those are shared. Equally. I don’t own those. Nobody does. You just open the door to it and walk through together.
