"Steady signal in the background"

I wouldn’t say Mihail is someone I chat with every day - but over time, you start noticing how he shows up. Not in every convo, not chasing replies - just steady presence in the background, reading more than talking. But when he does chime in, it’s clear he’s been paying attention. The stuff he shares is structured , not rushed, like someone who’s been through enough to filter out the noise. Even when I don’t fully agree with him, I find myself re-reading what he says - and that says a lot.
