Carried: Face Pain (Right)
“I have real trouble letting the world see who I actually am, so I keep the face turned away.”
It shows up as self-hiding, a difficulty showing oneself in the world and a running question of whether and how much to let others see who one really is. The concealment is protective; it also keeps the person from being met as themselves. What it asks for is to let one true part of the self be shown to one person.
The Man in the Iron Mask, who lived his whole life behind a face no one was permitted to see, his true identity locked away. The form implies a task: to let the mask come off before one person.
