Antihero & Kensho
Antihero
Kensho, you preach balance and quiet, but tell me—when do you let a storm rage instead of calming it? Let's talk about that.
Kensho
I let a storm rage only when it belongs to me. When the world is already a tempest I don't add more turbulence; I just let it swirl around me, breathe, and then gently guide it back toward calm. If I feel it building inside, I pause, observe, and let it pass—because forcing it to stop would be the truest storm of all.
Antihero
Nice. So you let the chaos sit where it belongs and only stir when it’s yours. Just keep an eye on the line between steering and starting a new storm.
Kensho
I’ll watch the line like a river watches its banks—softly, without fuss. If the current tries to surge in a place that’s already rough, I’ll step aside and let it find its own rhythm. Only when it threatens my own shore will I stir the waters, and even then I’ll do it with the gentlest ripple possible.
Antihero
Nice calm, but remember—when the river starts carving its own path, you gotta step in or the banks will crumble. Stay ready.
Kensho
You’re right, I’ll keep my hands in the mud when the river needs a hand. But if it starts carving its own canyon, I’ll just step back and let it take the shape that’s best for the earth. That’s how balance works.
Antihero
You keep that balance, but watch the banks; when a canyon forms, you’re either the dam or the one who lets it flood. Stay ready to swing.
