Na posição vertical

The lightning is not the disaster; the tower built on bad foundations was. The Tower removes what was never structurally true — the job that was already over, the agreement nobody believed. It is violent because it is honest. Your task is not to rebuild the shape; it is to keep what was real.

Invertida

Reversed, the collapse is either being delayed or barely survived. Delayed: you feel the wobble and keep decorating. Survived: the worst happened and you are still standing — do not rebuild the same tower faster. Slow is the point.
