To the point of the post, I think it touches on some really interesting main themes w/r/t agency, presence, possessions in relation to the self, etc. And holy crow "dispresence" and "a nihilism borne out of the siblings’ blasé response to their irrational displacement," — I think those were just very well-written remarks that hits the nail on the head. I just read the story and was looking for interesting commentary about it, and I felt the urge to comment and say I enjoyed reading it and thanks for taking the time to go through it w/ your own ideas on themes/composition/etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041572285119325206noreply@blogger.com
