In a room with many voices,

you might expect movement.

 

But most people are not searching.

 

They are checking where it is safe to stand.

 

You see it in how quickly positions settle.

 

In how little changes once the first direction appears.

 

Agreement forms early.

 

Exploration becomes unnecessary.

 

Not because the answer is clear.

 

But because the room has already chosen its edges.
