1 + 9 → 1 + 0 → 1
What the vowels want: to go first. Not applause — authorship. The quiet dread underneath is being ordinary, and it has moved you more than ambition ever has.
1 + 0 → 1
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.
