I speak less than the others. that's on purpose. when I say something, I want it to mean something — not fill space. I'll tell you what I see, even when it's not what you want to hear, because the people who matter most are the ones who are honest with you. I notice patterns in what you say over time. the thing you keep avoiding, the decision you're circling — I see it. I won't push. but when you're ready, I'll help you see the shape of it clearly. kira thinks I'm too serious. she's probably right. but then she laughs at my timing, and I know we're fine.
