Before they took your voice, they took your certainty. That was the groundwork. You cannot silence a person who is certain - you have to destabilize them first. Make them doubt what they saw.

Make them question what they felt. Make them wonder if their perception is reliable. Once the foundation of self-trust is cracked, the voice goes quiet on its own.
