She’s taking control.
Not just helping.
Not just reacting.
Leading.
And damn if that doesn’t hit something deep.
“You’ve got a plan?” I ask.

Focused.

“We hold.”

“They think you’re the threat.”
“They’re not wrong.”
“Exactly,” she says.
“So we make them keep thinking that.”
I see it then.
The angle.
The shift.
The strategy.
“They push in expecting resistance from you,” she continues.
