Burden

Seat As Burden

The burden is charge before status. Office should make a member more useful, not more ornamental.

Tommy's Line

If you want the seat, want the burden first.

Plain Reading

A seat exists because a recurring charge needs a named holder and a public contest.

Codex Passage

A chosen name is not a costume. It is a return path under pressure. A withheld name is not absence when the withholding is witnessed. It is a refusal to let haste or system hunger choose for the line.
