Airplane Mode

Knowing when to fully disconnect for safety, clarity, or self-preservation. A total systems safeguard.

Airplane Mode became Eumilis's survival strategy after the ICE raid. She had been connected to her community — working, sending kids to school, building relationships — but after agents shot Julio and took her daughter, she switched to complete disconnection. She stopped going to work, pulled all the kids out of school, and cut herself off from normal life. Airplane Mode helped her recognize that total disconnection was necessary for the safety of her family, even though it meant losing the life they'd worked so hard to build.
