Reached for: Theater (Narcism)
“The version of me in here is the real one; the world outside just hasn't caught up.”
It runs as life lived inside a self-authored story, a grand coherent world of one's own making, kept up because the real one, in childhood, looked straight past the person. The narration is less vanity than shelter; it is the only place the person was ever the main character. What it asks for is one real exchange that does not have to be scripted first.
Don Quixote, who rode out into a chivalric world of his own devising because the flat one he was handed had no place for him in it. The form implies a task: to let an ordinary field be a field, and still be someone in it.
