3 + 9 → 1 + 2 → 3
What the vowels want: to be heard saying the true thing beautifully. Unexpressed, it curdles into restlessness — your moods are mostly unspoken sentences.
1 + 2 → 3
What the consonants project: someone finishing a longer thought. There is a gravity to how you enter rooms — people bring you their endings, their exits, their big questions.
