Hal's Pump-Room abstraction: lonely for something/someone he's never met

texture · UNDATED, ~YDAU

• When: UNDATED (~YDAU; conceived "once while getting secretly high in the Pump Room")
• What: One of Hal's "deepest and most pregnant abstractions," arrived at while getting secretly high in the Pump Room: "That we're all lonely for something we don't know we're lonely for." He can only make sense of "the curious feeling that he goes around feeling like he misses somebody he's never even met" by universalizing it. Deepens the core anhedonia/loneliness of event 28 and keys the marijuana-thinking to the missing-someone motif.
