  5. Home adjusts quietly, learning not to rely on his return
  6. Care continues, but anticipation fades
  7. His efforts are received, not absorbed
  8. Affection turns cautious; warmth becomes polite
  9. The merchant senses distance without accusation
  10. He realizes his power (provision) no longer lands prepared
