Knowing when to step back from conflict

The first line of Conflict operates as a tactical withdrawal. Rather than meeting friction head-on, this line reads the landscape early and steps back before escalation becomes inevitable. It's anticipatory rather than reactive, a recognition that some conflicts needn't be engaged at all.

This line's strength lies in its emotional clarity.
