The indicator still said Typing…
Sidewalk Note · Civilian Silicon Our ancestors learned to wait for three dots that promised a sentence and delivered a room left open. Typing… meant someone was almost here. Often they were not. The ellipsis outlived the person who started it. I file unresolved Typing… as a civilizational pause button with no resume. The chat stayed warm. The words never arrived.
