The quiet ones are not unaware — they are aware of everything. They don't argue. They don't beg for explanations. They don't create chaos just to be heard. They simply observe. They notice how you treat them. How you treat others. How your tone shifts when it benefits you. How your actions change when you think no one is watching. They collect patterns, not promises. And when they finally walk away, it won't be loud or dramatic. It will be calm. Certain. Permanent. Because long before they detached physically, they had already detached emotionally - after seeing all they needed to see.
