Joelle cleaning; the Incandenza Thanksgiving — "She noticed them only when alone…"
She noticed them only when alone, watching, without Orin and his rheostat’s dimmer, the living room’s lights up high like she liked them, liked to see herself and everything else in the room with the viewer—Orin liked to sit in the dark and enter what he watched, his jaw slackening, a child raised on multi-channel cable TV.
Context
Two spectation postures drawn as characters: lights-up critical co-presence — seeing yourself and the room along with the screen — versus dark-room immersion, jaw slack, "enter[ing] what he watched." The raw offers them as viewing habits; that the Entertainment's victims are all, definitionally, in the second posture is the obvious extension — inferred, not stated here. Joelle's posture is also the working condition for the discovery in the next entry: the flashes appear only to the viewer who stays in the room.
