Mario as informal E.T.A. counselor — takes up the "psychic slack"

texture · 8 Nov YDAU

• When: YDAU present (ongoing).
• What: Because staff counselor Dolores Rusk is regarded as worse than useless, "occasionally Mario Incandenza, and many times Avril herself take up most of the psychic slack, for practical purposes, among E.T.A.s in the know" (alongside Lyle and a Carmelite kitchen worker).
