But all good things must come to an end, and the discussion trickles off and ends. My lament on that in our channel (which happened to trigger further discussion, yay.)
Conversations are fragile things, like butterflies.
Sometimes when you pet the butterfly too hard, you squish it, and it dies.
Other times it flies away on its own.
In the end, all you can do is be thankful for the time you had with the butterfly.
And then hide the evidence.
