You're about to push back.
Same energy. Same language. Same low.
It feels justified. They started it.
So now you're allowed.
But matching them doesn't settle anything.
It just pulls you closer to who they are.
The cleanest exit isn't a comeback.
It's refusing to play.
No explanation. No final word.
Just distance.
You don't owe them a mirror.
You owe yourself the door.
