You go quiet, and everyone assumes something is wrong.
You disappear for a stretch — a week, a season — and come back with something worked out. This is not sulking, and it is not avoidance, whatever the group chat has decided. You genuinely cannot think in company; other people's opinions arrive too fast and too loud, and you need the room empty before your own position becomes audible to you. The lamp points inward. The Eye notices what the withdrawal costs on the other side, which is that people cannot tell your thinking from your leaving, and they have all had the experience of not knowing which one this is. You come back with clarity. They spent that fortnight guessing.
