Carried: Radiation Sickness
“Whatever I build, something takes it apart. I've stopped thinking of that as coincidence.”
The reading here is that flourishing is not permitted — not difficult, not unlikely, but disallowed by whatever runs things — and the evidence has been collected over years of efforts that came apart. Confidence has gone with it, leaving a sense of being deliberately devalued and stripped of any power to affect outcomes. It was set up by a family that rejected and disempowered as a matter of routine, so the prohibition felt total long before the world was consulted. What the shape asks for is one result kept, and counted, and not explained away.
Ixion, bound to a wheel that turns forever, punished for having reached toward something above his allotted place. The form implies a task: to test whether the sentence was ever passed, or only announced at home.
