Carried: Facial “tic” (Left Side)
“I feel there's something fundamentally wrong with me, wrong enough that the world is bound to come and get at it.”
It shows as a conviction of some basic wrongness in oneself, held so deeply that intrusion by the world feels like just deserts, a punishment the wrongness has earned. On the inward side, the fault is felt as one's own and the invasion as owed. What it asks for is to question the verdict of wrongness rather than keep paying it in exposure.
Hester Prynne, made to wear the mark of her supposed wrong on her chest and stand exposed to the whole town's gaze, the fault treated as hers alone to bear in public. The form implies a task: to stop wearing the mark as if the wrongness, and the exposure, were justly one's own.
