Pushed away: Shellfish
“I closed once, a long time ago, and I've been perfectly comfortable in here.”
It lives sealed: contained, unbothered, deflecting whatever would require it to be reachable, having quietly given up on delight some time ago without making an announcement. The seal was fitted by a household that was unsafe or unkind or merely unreliable, where staying open cost more each time than it ever returned. What it asks for is one opening held ajar past the point where it becomes uncomfortable.
It echoes Amaterasu, who withdrew into the rock cave after her brother's violence and shut the world into darkness behind her, and was drawn out again by laughter she had not expected to hear. The form implies a task: to be curious about a noise outside.
