Reached for: La Crosse-Game
“Contact is the whole point. If nobody's hurting, what are we even doing?”
Hostility is carried into the body and delivered as impact, with hardness held to be the only respectable way of occupying a space. It was taught in a household where aggression was the working language, so force became the first available means of contact with anybody at all. What it asks for is one exchange that lands without weight behind it.
Cain in the field, whose first answer to a grievance was his hands. The form implies a task of finding a second answer before the hands arrive.
