integration stage

Description

Integration stage is the ceremonial tantrum where two parties pretend to mask each other’s faults under the pretense of unity. People expect deep bonds, but in reality they only impose their own egos on others. The praised closeness subtly breeds possessiveness and friction, ultimately sparking conflict. Group psychology utters integration like a magical incantation, cleverly sealing away individual differences. The inevitable result is a paradoxical trap of bizarre cohesion wrapped in inward rebellion.
