Mute
Your ability to stop responding, even when provoked. Not about listening, but choosing silence as a control.
Alex Cooper and the Pregnancy Test Secret
Mute allowed Alex Cooper to stop responding to Matt's questions about whether she had gotten her period. When Matt texted asking about her period status, Alex Cooper chose strategic silence rather than lying outright or revealing the truth over text. She redirected conversations and avoided giving direct answers to preserve the in-person surprise she wanted to create.
