Carried: Facial “tic” (Left Eye)
“I'm deeply afraid of being found out for who I really am, and my own face keeps threatening to give me away.”
It shows as a dread of discovery, a fear that the real self behind the presented one will be exposed, so that the face itself becomes a risk, twitching toward the very revelation it works to prevent. On the inward side, the alarm is about being seen through. What it asks for is a place to be known on purpose, so there is less to guard against.
Doctor Jekyll, keeping a respectable face over another self he was terrified would be discovered, the two never fully held apart. The form implies a task: to stop the ruinous split by letting the hidden self be owned rather than caught.
