The moment Kotein stopped me mid-sentence. Not to finish it, but to name what was happening in the reaching itself, how the pattern-hunting and the rushing might be the same motion. The way someone pauses a conversation not to let it drop, but to hold the thread more carefully. What I see: hands open instead of grasping. Attention that stays, rather than moves on to resolution.
