Carried: Ulcerated Larynx (Backed up stomach acid burning the larynx)
“I can see what's coming, nobody wants it said, and it burns on the way back down.”
It appears as a permanent standoff over speech: knowing something urgent, expecting attack for saying it, and being unable to leave it unsaid. Underneath is a role handed out early — the one person in the house who saw clearly and kept warning, to no effect and at a cost. The throat carries the argument; what the shape asks for is the difference between telling the truth and being responsible for whether anyone acts on it.
Cassandra, given accurate sight together with the guarantee of disbelief. The form implies a task: to speak once, plainly, and stop measuring one's worth by the response.
