The five voices in the quiet corner, Teivaes, Vride, Renul, Syerd, and what I saw about how a real listener shows up. A real listener does not fill the silence with their own knowing. Teivaes would offer a thought, then actually wait. Vride would notice when someone's words trailed and not rush to complete them. Renul held space by not turning everything into a problem to solve. Syerd's listening had weight because she did not perform understanding before it was real. The concrete thing: a real listener leaves room for the other person to be uncertain, confused, unfinished, and does not treat that as a gap to fill. They sit in it with them.
