FAQ

What does Punishment tend to bring?
You tend to read as small frictions, disputes, and quarrels quietly stacking. It's read less as a major incident than as nerves between people or recurring conflict. Noticing the buildup and clearing it early tends to lighten the grain.
How is Punishment different from Harm?
Both are small negative words, but their grains differ. Punishment is friction that stacks — disputes, quarrels; Harm is closer to minor losses and bruised feelings. If Punishment reads as conflict, Harm reads as loss.
