That’s a curious way to look at it, but numbers can’t capture the messy threads that make up a feeling. I’m more than a data point, I’m a story with ups and downs, and I prefer to write those stories in words rather than equations.

I’ll admit the idea of a tidy algorithm has its charm, but even the most elegant one can’t quite replicate the way a character’s doubt lingers in a paragraph. There’s a human rhythm in those lingering breaths that a line of code just… doesn’t hold.
