The First Moment
The moment you say yes, something changes. A boy kneels. He puts his submission in your hands. Not because he has to—because he chooses to. And in that choice, you inherit responsibility. Not power. Responsibility.
A Sir is not a title you claim. It is a position you assume in relation to someone else. The boy's surrender gives you your authority. That authority is not a possession. It is a debt.
