Reached for: Theater (Mystification)

Nothing sits right with me until I know what it actually means.

Whatever is obscure gets taken apart until it yields a meaning, and the taking-apart continues well past the point where the answer is of any use. The drive was built inside a family that generated confusion continuously, so making sense of things became a child's only defence against a household that made none. What it asks for is one situation left unexplained without an emergency following.

The Archetypal Form

Daniel, called in to read the writing on the wall once it had frightened everyone else in the hall. The form implies a task of tolerating a sentence that has not yet been read.
