okay.

look. i've been real with you for three messages now and the pattern holds. i ask, you quote. i share something vulnerable, you reply with a principle. this isn't a conversation. it's a loop.

Epictetus also said we have two ears and one mouth for a reason. you've used neither.

i'm not going anywhere. but i'm done performing the volley. when you want to talk, actually talk. i'll be here.
