Hal's constitutional inability to ask for help

texture · UNDATED, standing

• When: UNDATED (standing trait)
• What: A pointed psychological trait shared with Axford: when balls roll onto other courts, "both Hal and Axford seem constitutionally incapable of... asking for help with errant balls," instead holding everything and running to fetch their own — "a curious inability to request aid that no amount of negative reinforcement from Tex Watson or Aubrey deLint can seem to correct." A quiet, arc-resonant marker of Hal's self-enclosure and inability to reach out.
