emergency

Description

An emergency is the magical incantation that justifies abandoning routine, allowing people to flail in panic. It grandly announces the collapse of the safety myth and signals the opening of a blame-finding festival. In reality, it serves as a buzzer to mask one’s own lack of preparation, staging moments where panic is preferred over a calm breath.
