Reached for: Movies (Musicals)
“Take me somewhere everybody sings and nothing hurts for long.”
The appetite is for a world where feeling always resolves into music and the ending is arranged in advance, which is precisely what the early years failed to provide. What is being fled is a deep shortfall of emotional supply, and the bright, ordered spectacle stands in for it without ever reaching it. What it asks for is admitting the hunger to a real person rather than a chorus.
The Pied Piper, whose music was sweet enough that a whole street of children followed it out and did not come back. The form is enchantment as departure; the task is staying in the town where the hunger actually lives.
