This tear was collected in the aftermath of a difficult moment between two people who had grown close, but were also struggling to find their way back to one another. Anger, frustration and sadness had built up, making clear how heavy a relationship can feel when connection becomes harder to hold on to.

At the same time, the tear also held a sense of persistence. Even in conflict, there remained the hope that what was under strain could still be cared for, and that difficulty itself could become part of the story of trying to stay together.
