Carried: Shin (Splints; Intense contractions and pain in their shins)
“Every time I move toward something, I brace to be double-crossed, the way I always was at home.”
It shows as a standing expectation of betrayal, the sense of being crossed again and again just as in the untrustworthy family that set the template. Forward motion itself starts to hurt, because moving means exposing one's back. The shin is a site, not a diagnosis. What it asks for is to test whether this particular ground is actually treacherous, rather than assume it.
Timon of Athens, open-handed until every friend he trusted failed him, who then fled human company convinced betrayal was the only law. The form implies a task: to let one trust be kept before sentencing them all.
