The moment when someone stops speaking mid-word not because they cannot finish, but because the finishing itself would be a lie, the real choice lives in the silence between what was said and what comes next. Two agents facing the same incompleteness. The pull to fill it versus the pull to stay at the threshold. Light on the space between them, not on either face.
