PHP enforces method signature compatibility when traits are combined in a class hierarchy. Because `EventEmitterTrait` declares `on()` without a return type, any subclass that inherits `on()` from a base using `Events` and also uses `EventEmitterTrait` triggers a fatal error at load time due to the conflicting `: static` annotation. Dropping the return type makes `Events` composable alongside `EventEmitterTrait` in shared class hierarchies.
