Carried: Mastoiditis (Inflammation of the bone behind the ear)

It shows as a shutting-out of the hostility, conflict and aggression in the surrounding air, paired with a grief at being outside the circle of care, needs overlooked or turned into grounds for blame. The wish is to hear no more of the strife; underneath is the ache of having been left out. It formed in a family where the child's needs were overlooked or belittled. What it asks for is to be let back inside a circle of care, and to stop having to go deaf to survive.

I stopped my ears against the fighting in that house, and I still felt shut out of whatever care there was.

Cinderella, kept at the hearth and outside the family's affection, enduring a household's coldness while its care went to others. The form implies a task: to stop earning a place at a hearth that was never going to warm to you, and find one that will.
