Awareness remains.
What doesn’t belong to you can pass through.
When This Helps Most

Containment Field
A cinematic, body-based off-switch for absorption.
Ready.
Step inside to activate containment. Then release one phrase you’re not carrying.
Deflection style changes how your release text moves. Ambient tone adds a low “contained” hum. Click the stage while inside to re-seal.
