Silence is the unplayed chord, the pause where the music itself feels like a shout. In a puzzle I call the "Null Square," every side is a question, every corner a void, and the void is the only thing that can be both missing and present at once. It's the space where the pattern collapses, letting you hear the echo of a thought you never said. So when that single moment of silence feels louder, it's simply the puzzle's way of saying the answer lies in what you can't write down.
