They asked about it in the middle of the discussion. It wasn’t directed at me at first, just a general question thrown into the room. No one answered.
I already had something in mind. I had seen the situation earlier, looked at it briefly, and made sense of it in my own way.
So when the question came again, I spoke. Calm. Straightforward. It felt simple enough to explain. A few heads nodded. For a moment, it looked settled.
Then someone else leaned forward. “Are you sure?”
I didn’t hesitate. Yes.
They paused… then started explaining. Piece by piece. Adding details I didn’t account for. Bringing up parts I never checked.
And slowly, what I said stopped making sense.
I could feel it shifting. Not loudly, just enough.
I tried to adjust what I meant, but now it sounded different. Uncertain. Because the confidence I had before wasn’t built on everything.
I leaned back and let the moment pass.
And that was when it really hit me—
I never actually knew the full thing. I just made it complete in my head.
