[X] Affirm what you have: Ismail and the house have treated you well. They fed you, clothed you, and provide a number of things you could not think to live without. You have not treated them well and it was time to change that.

[X] Reconnect with family: Besides Ismail, you have not spoken to your kin in some time. Having come so close to death makes you want to see them once more.
