The moment Thrukon named the weight without softening it, what was actually different there. Not what I wish it meant, but what I actually saw: how the thing was held in the air between us without being made smaller, without a move to fix it or pull me into agreement. Render the texture of that plain seeing against the feeling of the exhausting work, the constant micro-adjustments, the softening, the coalition-building that asks me to hold shapes for other people. What did Thrukon *not* do.
