Reached for: Fitness
“I train like something is coming for me, because I've never once assumed I'd be spared.”
The regimen is a countermeasure against a specific dread, usually the heart failing, and the heart in question has been shut for a long time. It grew in a devastating household that left no trust in a benevolent order, so the body became the one system that could be held by hand. What it asks for is the vulnerability the regimen is designed to outrun, admitted somewhere it can be met.
Baldr, warded by oaths taken from every thing in the world and undone by the one that was not asked. The task is to look for the gap the vigilance cannot cover.
