«Some memories sit heavier than others, for reasons that have nothing to do with how important they were.»
The charcoal underlayer stayed visible on purpose. I wanted the weight of earlier decisions to show through the oil, the way an old memory shows through a more recent one.

Built up, partly removed, and left to sit before returning to it.
Connected to a specific, half-reconstructed recollection.
Left open — the title is a starting point, not an explanation.
