    tutor "Isolation cuts you off from information and allies. It makes you an easy target. Walls keep enemies out, but they also trap you inside."

    tutor "Stay connected. Move among people. Gather knowledge, support, and early warnings. Power comes from circulation, not hiding."

    tutor "Fortresses fall from within or from neglect. Open presence prevents both."

    tutor "In personal matters, isolation weakens desire."

    tutor "Hiding yourself completely creates distance. Lovers need access, contact, shared moments. Lock yourself away and passion cools."

    tutor "Stay available. Let them reach you, see you, touch you when the moment is right. Controlled openness keeps them bound and hungry."

    tutor "Never isolate. Circulate."
