Pushed away: Jell-O (Gelatin)
“I let myself be moved once. I've been very careful since.”
It declines joy and affection by refusing to be affected, holding a flat and slightly amused distance from anything that might land, so that nothing gets in far enough to matter. Betrayal by the family established that being moved is the exact condition under which damage occurs, and the flatness is not absence of feeling but a guard mounted over it. What it asks for is one thing allowed to land while somebody is watching.
It echoes Brunhild, deceived at the very point where she had agreed to be won, who spent the rest of the story unable to take anything offered to her as honestly meant. The form implies a task: to separate the one deception from every offer that came after it.
