How it tends to read
The through-line is depth and stillness — the serpent of the deep, patient and unhurried. Strengths commonly noted: Genuine composure under provocation; Wisdom that arrives without display; Endures long difficulty quietly. The corresponding costs: Withdrawal instead of engagement; Depth kept private to a fault; Slow to claim what it is owed.
