    My autism has made this impossible to understand. Inkflowers? Metal pans?? Some context helps me understand that it’s about a planet and its moon, but i don’t get what it’s describing about them

      I’m taking it on two fronts (though admittedly reading right past “inkflowers” and “metal pans”) 1- the literal planet and moon, with the moon eventually drifting out of orbit, overcome by the gravity of some other body 2- a more metaphorical relationship of a girl and her brother. I’m reading it as a family member with special needs or just in need of a caretaker. She uses him to hide in some sense, using the need to caretake as shelter from other things in life. But eventually that brother is gone for some reason or another, and she’s left adapting to the new exposure

      Metal pans may be hospital trays/bedpans?
