#Nephew

A nephew is the soldier drafted into the family network, carrying the full weight of complex rituals and gift exchanges behind an innocent smile. Sometimes he utters inadvertent truths, provoking family councils. A permitted thief, free to rummage through uncles and aunts' wallets under parental protection. As decoration at weddings and funerals, he consumes spotlights like an arrow from Cupid. In every gathering, his presence reminds us that blood ties are both a blessing and a burden.
