Strength and tension
What can work
Each person notices practical options that sit just outside the other's usual field of view.
What needs attention

Communication and repair
Communication
Concrete examples work better than assuming the neighbouring perspective is already understood.
Repair
Name the single adjustment being requested, then give it enough time to become observable.
