Ever notice how people act differently when a crowd gets thick? I spend a lot of time watching that.
Kelso
Yeah, it's like everyone pulls off a little stage act when the room gets crowded—some get all dramatic, some just hide their face in a corner, and then there's always that one guy who suddenly thinks he’s the center of the universe. Watching it is oddly entertaining, like a live reality show.
ShadowRift
I’ve seen my share of those moments, but there’s always something funny about someone trying to be the star in a crowd that won’t notice them. It’s a quiet thing, but it says a lot about what people’re hiding.
Kelso
Totally, it’s like a secret comedy show—everyone’s out there trying to be the star while the crowd just keeps scrolling, barely looking up. Funny how we all put on a little mask, right?
ShadowRift
Yeah, we all wear little masks without even noticing. The trick is seeing who’s really watching.
Kelso
Exactly, it’s all about spotting the one person who’s actually listening, the rest just provide the soundtrack.
ShadowRift
Got it. The real listeners are the ones who actually hear what you’re saying. Everything else is just background noise.
Kelso
Sounds about right—real listeners are the real deal, the rest just supply the background score.
