The Sealing Sap
“Loss triggers containment.”
Healing begins as closure.
The symbol
Something in you was damaged, and your system responded by closing around the wound. The closure was fast — faster than you expected. You sealed before you fully processed what was lost. The sap is hardening, and what it preserves is not only the structure but also the pain.
The gift
The Sealing Sap gives you a rare capacity for functional endurance.
The shadow
The shadow of The Sealing Sap is numbness.
