Tethered 

'Tethered' meaning tied or to have a bond with.

Usually when there is a strong bond between two entities (can be two objects, two nations or two people) they are tethered and the strength of the bond can pull through anything. Even when the room seems dark, dusty, smelly and the situation looks downcast, the tethered bond can create a glimmer of hope and reverse the dark to light, the dusty to pristine, the smelly to aromatic and the situation from downcast to bright.
The tethered bond between two people is the most powerful bond that exists in the world therefore making the glimmer of hope even greater.
Mother: child, i wish not to discuss the matter any more. we are a little tired of listening to that song of yours

Child: but mother, please listen to the A chord i have been practicing so hard. And mum we shared a strong bond remember.

Mother: oh dear... of course my love, we are tethered. Please play your delightful instrument.

As can be observed the tethered bond between the mother and the child gave a glimmer of hope for the mother to allow her son to play his melodic instrument to her.

Similarly a tethered bond between to people can act as a strength for hope and resolve.

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
