Pushed away: Olves (Black) (II)
“It's not that I don't want it. It's that I can't picture myself holding it.”
It turns down what is extended to it, opportunities and resources and help alike, and the refusal is not about the thing offered but about the accounting, since accepting would require a working belief in its own worth that is not currently in stock. A severely denigrating family established the shortfall early and thoroughly, and an offer that assumes worth reads as a mistake that will shortly be noticed and withdrawn. What it asks for is to accept one thing before the worth question has been settled.
It echoes Mephibosheth, brought to the king's table on his own two broken feet, asking what the king wanted with a dead dog like him, and eating there for the rest of his life anyway. The form implies a task: to sit down before the question is answered.
