- grief refracts the mesa's energy Grief is a refractive medium that bends and separates the accumulated energies of prior belonging into displaced spectral components, leaving the observer with genuine fuel for attention but no traceable path back to the sources that generated it.

The kept accumulates internally like a supersaturated solution, sustained by active heat, and discharges in flash crystallization whose marks exceed anything gradual deposit could produce.
