Pushed away: Air Pollution
“Whatever's in the room gets into me, and I've never worked out how to stop it.”
It takes in everything around it without a filter, absorbing other people's moods, malice and general contamination as though there were no boundary between the air and the person breathing it, and the world accordingly registers as poisoned. Its family attacked in ways that could not be blocked or answered, so no working membrane was ever built, and a person with no membrane experiences the whole environment as coming straight in. What it asks for is one deliberate act of filtering, practised somewhere small and low-stakes.
It echoes Suibhne in the branches, who after the curse could not bear the sound of a bell or a voice and started from every noise, driven from tree to tree by things other people did not notice. The form implies a task: to build the wall he was never given, one stone at a time.
