Carried: E-Ball Vapor Poisoning
“Someone else's will arrives like weather, and I either go still or come out swinging.”
It shows as an absent filter against what other people press in: their moods, their instructions, their certainty about who one is. Only two responses stay available — fold, or fight loudly — and both are answers to the same early climate, a home where the air belonged to whoever was most forceful. What it asks for is a border that is neither surrender nor open war.
Io, driven from country to country by a torment she never chose, unable to rest because the goad is held by another hand. The figure implies a task: locate the driver, and stop mistaking its urgency for one's own.
