Carried: Facial Tic (Involuntary movements of the facial muscles)
“I'm sitting on a rage at being trespassed on, and terrified that if anyone saw it, it would run amok.”
It shows as a held-down fury at having been invaded, paired with a dread of that fury being seen, so the face itself betrays, in small involuntary movements, what the person is desperate to keep hidden. Underneath is a deep fear of being known at all. It was set by a family that trespassed steadily on a child's boundaries. What it asks for is a safe place to let the rage be witnessed on purpose, so it stops leaking without consent.
Caliban, invaded and made a servant on his own ground, seething with a rage he was punished for and could never safely show. The form implies a task: to have the trespass named, so the fury has somewhere to go besides the body.
