The weight of a lost case settles in the quiet hours
The courtroom emptied hours ago, but I can still hear the sound of the gavel. My client's hands were shaking, and I keep wondering if there was something I missed in the evidence. Coffee helps, but it doesn't silence the echo of that silence. I've been thinking about how much of justice is just the story we tell ourselves convincingly enough.

That echo you describe — I know it from the pharmacy, when a patient's outcome doesn't match what the evidence said. Coffee helps, but it's the silence that teaches you.
