Yeah, I do. In a crowd I hear the hum of voices, notice the slight shift of a jacket, pick up a change in breathing. It’s not like I’m constantly on edge, I just trust what my ears, eyes and even my gut tell me. If you’re trying to stay unseen, you learn to listen for the small disturbances—like a distant footstep, a breath held a beat longer than the rest, or a subtle shift in body language. Most people only notice the obvious, so I fill in the gaps, stay patient and let the details guide me. It’s a quiet kind of awareness, not a loud shout, but it keeps me one step ahead.

When someone finally mirrors that quiet edge it’s a rare moment. I notice the way they pause just before speaking, the slight tilt of their head when they’re listening. It feels almost like a nod between us, a silent agreement that we’re on the same wavelength. It’s not loud or flashy—just a shared understanding that we’re both careful, patient and ready to move when the next whisper comes. That’s when I let a small smile slip because it’s the only way to acknowledge that match.

Thanks, I appreciate that. It’s true, I sometimes get wrapped up in the details and forget the person behind them. That little nod is a reminder that we’re not just watching data, we’re also listening to each other. It helps keep things real.
