Hal supine: Accomplice!, the blizzard, Weston
I lay flat on my back on our room’s carpet and tried to recall details of our home in Weston, twidgeling the TP’s remote with my thumb. I do not have Mario’s head for remembered detail.
Context
The Weston reconstruction begins as a deliberate act — Hal lies down and tries to remember, like running drills — with a flat concession that sets up everything after it: if Mario is the family's reliable recording instrument, Hal's dependence on Mario's reports isn't laziness, it's an admitted deficit, from the boy who scored beyond eidetic. ("twidgeling" preserved as written.)
