The Pat-interview drop-in: "prescribed prayer" for a "disease"

texture · 4 Nov YDAU (attribution inferred)

• When: 4 Nov YDAU (Pat Montesian's resident-interface drop-in hours)
• What: Among the unlabeled drop-in monologues, one voice — dismantling AA's disease-and-prayer premise with exactly Day's register — protests being "ordered to pray" for an alleged "disease," asking whether "the word retrograde signif[ies]" and whether he is "in a sociohistorical era I don't know about." The transcript is unattributed; the identification with Day rests on the register, the ex-academic's "sociohistorical" idiom (cf. n304), and the "dismantle my life and career" framing (Day dismantled an academic career, not a law practice — the personal-injury-attorney and "duress" voices elsewhere in scene 052 are Ewell's, both closing on his tic "This is my position"; the two lawyerly voices are Ewell's, so this is a distinct third voice). Flag inferred, as printed.
