friction
A tax on every repetition — the extra steps, seconds, or effort between intending an act and doing it. Friction never argues; it just makes one path a step shorter than another, today and tomorrow, while the habit is still setting.
In this castle, friction has two faces: friction-decides found it taxing every repetition equally, a quiet force that shapes habits; friction-at-the-door found it spiking at the last step, where the work crosses from inside to outside. The first is a tax on habit; the second is a toll on courage.
