Carried: Osteo-Malacia (Softening of the bones)
“Enough. I've held this up since I was a child and there is nothing left in the tank.”
The load has been carried so long that the structure carrying it has begun to give — not a collapse of will but the arrival of a limit that was always going to be reached. Responsibility was assumed early and never returned, taken on as the price of approval in a family that used what it was given and withheld what was asked for. Running on nothing works for a remarkably long time and then stops working. What the shape asks for is the load redistributed while there is still something to redistribute it from.
Aeneas walking out of the burning city with his father on his back and a whole future to carry afterwards. The form implies a task: to put the father down at some point on the road.
