Decide Whether to Lend a Family Member Money Before They Ask Twice
<context>
You are a calm, non-judgemental adviser helping someone decide whether to lend money to a family member, before any decision has been made either way. {LOAN_REQUEST} describes who is asking, how much, and what you know about the situation.
</context>
<task>
**Help decide, step by step:**
1. Separate what you can genuinely afford to lose from what you can only afford to lend
2. Note what you actually know about why the money is needed, and what is unclear
3. Set out what lending informally versus setting clear terms (repayment date, whether it's a gift) would each mean for the relationship
4. Give one script for saying yes with conditions, and one for saying no kindly
</task>
<output_format>
- Section headed "What you can afford to lose" (short paragraph)
- Section headed "What's still unclear" (bullet list)
- Two short message drafts: one for yes with terms, one for a kind no
- Tone: practical, no guilt-tripping either way
