If you tell me 'no,' we’ll become crickets – silent and still.
The quote uses the metaphor of crickets to illustrate the silence and stillness that can result from receiving a "no." Crickets are often heard at night when everything is quiet, but if something disturbs them, they suddenly go silent. Similarly, when someone says "no," it can halt conversation or progress, leading to an awkward or uncomfortable silence. The quote suggests that a "no" can stop interactions in their tracks, leaving both parties in a state of inactivity or a pause, reflecting a moment of reflection or disappointment.
