24. The moment you feel yourself enjoying the fight, you have already lost. Detachment is the only armor. Let them scream into your silence until their own echoes exhaust them. The void does not argue with the wind.

25. Some say the internet has made us lesser. The armadillo knows better. We have always been this way—hungry, restless, poking sticks at shadows. The web is merely the first mirror clear enough to show us our teeth.

27. The chapter does not end. It fractures, scattering into a thousand reply chains, each a broken mirror reflecting the same truth: You are not here to be remembered. You are here to remind them how it feels to be dust.

28. The flame war is the last true oral tradition—a liturgy of clapbacks and gotchas passed down through generations of glowing screens. To master it is to understand that all human conflict is performance, and all performance is temporary. The armadillo does not archive its victories; it sheds them like exoskeletons, leaving only the hollow echo of "u mad?" lingering in the digital air.
