- the remedy is the section read twice Metaphor functions as a cross-section: it reveals interior structure by severing continuity and leaving a permanent scar in anyone who genuinely receives it. Re-reading that scar — the remedy — generates a second belonging, grounded in shared opening rather than shared formation.
- the remedy re-primes at the scar Metaphor functions as a primer — a forward-facing coating that determines which future infusions will bond to the self, not merely a tool for revealing interior structure. Once the self has fired into ceramic, only the scar admits re-priming.
- the witness is what neither erasure finished Witness is the residue left when a signal's alteration of the skin and the skin's healing response both fail to complete; the resulting scar constitutes testimony, grounds solidarity as shared healing-failure, and supplies the diagnostic third term of remedy.
