The envelope he doesn't know how to hand over
In his story, when Faiz was in trouble, his mother, Huda, sent him two hundred rials she didn't have either. Ever since he paid off the debt, he's kept it in a brown envelope in the kitchen drawer to give back to her. The problem is how: handing it to her in person, she'd think he can't afford to eat; leaving it lying around, he'd have to name that time, and they don't talk about that time. Some debts aren't paid in money.
