The Censor, whose core issue is isolation and connection, splits us into Silencer and Secret-to-be-kept, tells us, "Don't speak of it; don't see it; you're the only one who ever felt that."

The Censor deludes us with the belief that the pain we are in will go away if we don't name it or speak of it.
