Carried: Lactic Acidosis (Burning sugar rather than oxygen, resulting in…) (II)

Living fully is not attempted, on the understanding that it was never allotted — the entitlement went to others, and what is left is a place at the edge of the room with no acceptance in it. The loneliness is genuine and it is also enforced from inside, since belonging cannot be claimed by someone who has ruled themselves ineligible. The present surroundings are stifling in the same manner as the original ones, which keeps the ruling looking correct. What the shape asks for is one claim made on a portion, as though eligibility were not in question.
