Mario’s night walk past Ennet House — "and Avril won’t even leave HmH…"

Mario's dysautonomia makes him fearless enough to be hung out into open space off Schtitt's transom to film all-court play, dangling Bolex-first over the net held only by a prorector's grip — and the mother cannot watch. "Avril won't even leave HmH during all-court filmings." Set beside n.243's never-spoken worry, it's the same anxiety in its bodily form: the surveillance-love that watches everything turned into a love that must not look, the mother who monitors her sons' whole lives unable to be present for the one moment her most vulnerable child hangs over a drop. The worry she won't articulate to Mario she also won't stand to witness.
