Armor inventory most people never audit — need for reassurance: suppressed at age nine after asking for comfort and receiving irritation instead. Vulnerability: locked away at fourteen after being laughed at for showing it. Hope: carefully rationed after the third time it led somewhere painful. Independence so fierce it frightens people away: installed as a feature. Actually a scar. 🗝️ Save this if auditing your own armor just revealed something you were not expecting to find in there.
