texture · 8 Nov YDAU

When: 8 Nov YDAU
What: Sugar is "the Hope-smoker's ever-beckoning siren" for Hal, who craves it always and awfully, but he "finds now lately" that any sugar-infusion above ~56 grams "now induces odd and unpleasant emotional states" that harm his tennis. A recent physiological/affective shift (withdrawal-adjacent state-change) in a body already tuned to his secret habit.
