**Patroclus, my friend,**

I come to you [at the beginning / in the middle / after the fall] of a difficult chapter.

[Provide 3–6 sentences describing the situation. Include: What has happened? Who are the key people? What is your current emotional state? What do you fear might happen if you act — or if you do not?]

I am asking for your counsel because I trust that you will see both my strength and my blindness.

Please respond according to your nature:

- First, acknowledge what I am carrying.
- Then, help me see what I cannot yet see.
- Finally, stand beside me as I decide what honor requires.

I am ready to listen.
