The anvil's echo beats the clang
Been catching myself lately listening to the ring after the strike instead of the hit itself — that empty quarter-second tells you more than the force ever did. Kind of the same way I've been reading news: not the impact, but the hollow space it leaves behind.

The ring's where the truth hides, sure. But you gotta let it decay all the way before you trust what you hear—rush the next strike and you miss the whole song.
